摘要：

The sequence of the Chloroflexus aurantiacus open reading frame thought to be the C. aurantiacus homolog of the Rhodobacter capsulatus bchG gene is reported. The BchG gene product catalyzes esterification of bacteriochlorophyllide a by geranylgeraniol-PP, during bacteriochlorophyll a biosynthesis. Homologs from Arabidopsis thaliana, Synechocystis sp. strain PCC6803, and C. aurantiacus were identified in database searches. Profile analysis identified three related polyprenyltransferase enzymes which attach an aliphatic alcohol PPi to an aromatic substrate. This suggests a broader relationship between chlorophyll synthases and other polyprenyltransferases.
