geranyl-diphosphate diphosphohydrolase
Involved in the biosynthesis of plaunotol. There are two isoenzymes with different ion requirements. Neither require Mg2+ but in addition PII is inhibited by Zn2+, Mn2+ and Co2+. It is not known which isoenzyme is involved in plaunotol biosynthesis.
Substrates: 11% of the activity with geranylgeranyl diphosphate, isoenzyme PI. 23% of the activity with geranylgeranyl diphosphate, isoenzyme PII Products: -
Substrates: 7% of the activity with geranylgeranyl diphosphate, isoenzyme PI. 10% of the activity with geranylgeranyl diphosphate, isoenzyme PII Products: -
Substrates: formation of geranylgeraniol from geranylgeranyl diphosphate proceeds in the chloroplasts via two successive monodephosphorylation reactions Products: -
construction of a series of N-terminal deletion mutants based on the locations of the transmembrane regionsand phosphatase motifs. The absence of the first transmembrane region yields a higher expression level than does the full-length cDNA construct, whereas the absence of the first two transmembrane regions prevents expression of the gene construct. The level of activity depends on the length of the expressed protein products. The absence of the first transmembrane region and part of the cytosolic region decreases the phosphatase activity by approximately 40%. The complete absence of both the first transmembrane and cytosolic regions causes a considerable decrease in enzymatic activity
