In enzymology, a 4-hydroxybenzoate nonaprenyltransferase (EC 2.5.1.39) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

solanesyl diphosphate (nonaisoprenol diphosphate) + 4-hydroxybenzoate ⇌ diphosphate + nonaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are nonaisoprenol diphosphate and 4-hydroxybenzoate, whereas its two products are diphosphate and nonaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring aryl or alkyl groups other than methyl groups. This enzyme participates in ubiquinone biosynthesis.

Nomenclature

The systematic name of this enzyme class is solanesyl-diphosphate:4-hydroxybenzoate nonaprenyltransferase. Other names in common use include:

nonaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate transferase,

4-hydroxybenzoate transferase,

p-hydroxybenzoate dimethylallyltransferase,

p-hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase,

p-hydroxybenzoic acid-polyprenyl transferase, and

p-hydroxybenzoic-polyprenyl transferase.
