Encodes a protein with isopentenyl diphosphate:dimethylallyl diphosphate isomerase activity. There is genetic evidence that it functions in the mevalonate, but not the MEP biosynthetic pathway.
Computational Description
isopentenyl pyrophosphate:dimethylallyl pyrophosphate isomerase 2 (IPP2); FUNCTIONS IN: isopentenyl-diphosphate delta-isomerase activity; INVOLVED IN: chlorophyll biosynthetic process, flower development, isoprenoid biosynthetic process; LOCATED IN: cytosol, mitochondrion, chloroplast; EXPRESSED IN: 23 plant structures; EXPRESSED DURING: 13 growth stages; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: NUDIX hydrolase domain-like (InterPro:IPR015797), NUDIX hydrolase domain (InterPro:IPR000086), Isopentenyl-diphosphate delta-isomerase, type 1 (InterPro:IPR011876); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase 1 (TAIR:AT5G16440.1); Has 2187 Blast hits to 2186 proteins in 784 species: Archae - 35; Bacteria - 1163; Metazoa - 210; Fungi - 137; Plants - 180; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 462 (source: NCBI BLink).
