Reaction: phosphoenolpyruvate + GTP = enolpyruvoyl-2-diphospho-5'-guanosine + diphosphate
Other name(s): fbiD (gene name)
Systematic name: GTP:phosphoenolpyruvate guanylyltransferase
Comments: This enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of coenzyme F420, a redox-active cofactor, in mycobacteria. cf. EC 2.7.7.68, 2-phospho-L-lactate guanylyltransferase and EC 2.7.7.106, 3-phospho-(R)-glycerate guanylyltransferase.
