Protein Domain : Menaquinone biosynthesis enzyme

Primary Identifier  IPR003773 Type  Family
Short Name  Menaquinone_biosynth
description  This family includes two enzymes which are involved in menaquinone (vitamin K2) biosynthesis. One which catalyses the conversion of cyclic de-hypoxanthine futalosine to 1,4-dihydroxy-6-naphthoate, and one which may be involved in the conversion of chorismate to futalosine []. These enzymes comprise two domains with alpha/beta structures, a large domain and a small domain. A pocket between the two domains may form the active site, a conserved histidine located within this pocket could be the catalytic base [].
