Description
Requires Mn2+ for activity. The enzyme from the bacterium Pantoea agglomerans (previously known as Erwinia herbicola) produces the all-trans isomer of phytoene. cf. EC 2.5.1.32, 15-cis-phytoene synthase.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
prephytoene-diphosphate synthase (ambiguous); phytoene synthetase (ambiguous); PSase (ambiguous); geranylgeranyl-diphosphate geranylgeranyltransferase (ambiguous); 15-trans-phytoene synthase
Reaction
2 geranylgeranyl diphosphate = all-trans-phytoene + 2 diphosphate (overall reaction); (1a) 2 geranylgeranyl diphosphate = diphosphate + prephytoene diphosphate; (1b) prephytoene diphosphate = all-trans-phytoene + diphosphate
