    Phenotypes of a mutant

  • increased susceptibility to rare earth elements [Pubmed|22904278]
  • a ''[SW|bcrC]'' ''[SW|uppP]'' double mutant is not viable (unless ''[SW|yodM]'' is artificially expressed) [Pubmed|27528508]
  • The protein

    Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • undecaprenyl pyrophosphate --> undecaprenyl phosphate
  • Protein family

  • bcrC/ybjG/ywoA family (according to Swiss-Prot)
  • Effectors of protein activity

  • inhibited by heptaprenyl pyrophosphate which accumulates in a ''[protein|search|ytpB]'' mutant [Pubmed|24806199]
  • [SW|Localization]

  • cell membrane (according to Swiss-Prot)
  • Additional information

  • there is a second undecaprenyl pyrophosphate phosphatase in ''B. subtilis'', [protein|search|YubB]. However, [protein|search|YubB] seems to play only a minor role. [Pubmed|22904278]
  • Expression and Regulation

    Operon

  • ''bcrC
  • [SW|Sigma factor]

  • Regulation

  • expression activated by glucose (3.3 fold) [Pubmed|12850135]
  • induced by heat shock ([protein|search|SigI]) [Pubmed|18156261]
  • induced by bacitracin
  • induced by oxidative stress
  • induced in the stationary phase due to the internal production of toxic peptides ([SW|SdpC], [SW|SkfA]) [Pubmed|26364265]
  • expression is reduced in a [protein|search|SigV] mutant [Pubmed|21926231]
  • Biological materials
