IPR006449

Description

IPR006449 is a Squalene synthase-like.

<p>This family of sequences describe farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase, also known as squalene synthase, as found in eukaryotes. This family is related to phytoene synthases. Tentatively identified archaeal homologues lack the C-terminal predicted transmembrane region universally conserved among members of this family and therefore are not included in this group.</p> <p>This family also includes squalene synthase-like (SSL) proteins from green algae. SSL-3 (Botryococcene synthase) produces botryococcene when coexpressed with SSL-1 (Presqualene diphosphate synthase). SSL-3 has no activity with farnesyl diphosphate as substrate [[cite:PUB00086654]]. SSL-2 (Botryococcus squalene synthase) produces squalene when coexpressed with SSL-1 and bisfarnesyl ether [[cite:PUB00086654]].</p>

Associated GO terms

GO predictions are based solely on the InterPro-to-GO mappings published by EMBL-EBI, which are in turn based on the mapping of predicted domains to the InterPro dataset. The InterPro-to-GO mapping was last updated on , while the GO metadata was last updated on .
