Protein Domain : UbiA prenyltransferase family IPR000537

Type	Family
Description	The UbiA family of prenyltransferases includes bacterial 4-hydroxybenzoate octaprenyltransferase (gene ubiA); yeast mitochondrial para-hydroxybenzoate--polyprenyltransferase (gene COQ2); protohaem IX farnesyltransferase (haem O synthase) from yeast and mammals (gene COX10), and from bacteria (genes cyoE or ctaB) [ , ]; and 2-acylphloroglucinol 4-prenyltransferase and 2-acyl-4-prenylphloroglucinol 6-prenyltransferase from plant chloroplasts which catalyse prenylation steps in the beta-bitter acid pathway [, ]. These are integral membrane proteins, which probably contain seven transmembrane segments. Archaeal family members include lycopene elongase/hydratase - this type of enzyme has been shown to be involved in bacterioruberin synthesis in Halobacterium salinarum and Haloferax volcanii [].
