a polyprenyl diphosphate + 4-hydroxybenzoate diphosphate + a 4-hydroxy-3-polyprenylbenzoate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are a polyprenyl diphosphate and 4-hydroxybenzoate, whereas its two products are diphosphate and 4-hydroxy-3-polyprenylbenzoate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring aryl or alkyl groups other than methyl groups. This enzyme participates in ubiquinone biosynthesis.[1]

Nomenclature

edit

The systematic name of this enzyme class is polyprenyl-diphosphate:4-hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase. Other names in common use include:

  • nonaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate transferase,
  • 4-hydroxybenzoate transferase,
  • p-hydroxybenzoate dimethylallyltransferase,
  • p-hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase,
  • p-hydroxybenzoic acid-polyprenyl transferase,
  • p-hydroxybenzoic-polyprenyl transferase, and
  • 4-hydroxybenzoate nonaprenyltransferase
