| Product Name | 4-hydroxy-3-polyprenylbenzoate decarboxylase |
| Example Structure |  |
| Synonyms | -hydroxy-3-solanesylbenzoate decarboxylase; 3-octaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate decarboxylase, 3-octaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate carboxy-lyase, 3-octaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate decarboxylase, 4-hydroxy-3-solanesylbenzoate decarboxylase, CpsUbiX, flavin mononucleotide-dependent aromatic acid decarboxylase, FMN-dependent aromatic acid decarboxylase, PA0254, PAD1, slr1099, ubiD, ubiX, yigC |
| EC Number | 4.1.1.98 |
| CAS Registry Number | |
| Comments | The enzyme catalyses a step in prokaryotic ubiquinone biosynthesis, as well as in plastoquinone biosynthesis in cyanobacteria. The enzyme can accept substrates with different polyprenyl tail lengths?in vitro, but uses a specific length?in vivo, which is determined by the polyprenyl diphosphate synthase that exists in the specific organism. It requires a prenylated flavin cofactor that is produced by EC?2.5.1.129, flavin prenyltransferase. |
