Type: | Family | Name: | Demethylmenaquinone methyltransferase |
Description: | MenG is a generic term for a methyltransferase that catalyses the last step in menaquinone biosynthesis; the exact enzymatic activity differs for different MenG because the menaquinone differ in their prenoid side chains in different species. Members of this MenG protein family are 2-heptaprenyl-1,4-naphthoquinone methyltransferase, and are found together in operons with the two subunits of the heptaprenyl diphosphate synthase in Bacillus subtilisand related species. | Short Name: | MenG_heptapren |
