General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | highly conserved regions of characterized geranylgeranyl reductases, GGRs, from archaea, plants, and bacteria, overview | Thermoplasma acidophilum |
additional information | structural basis for recognition of a geranyl group by geranylgeranyl reductases, GGRs, overview | Thermoplasma acidophilum |
physiological function | DGGR catalyzes a critical step in the biosynthesis of archaeal membrane lipids. The saturation of hydrocarbon chains confers the ability to resist hydrolysis and oxidation and helps archaea withstand extreme conditions | Thermoplasma acidophilum |
