    Phenotypes of a mutant

  • inactivation of ''[SW|uppP]'' reduces sporulation efficiency to 0.4% that of wild type cells; distended intermembrane space [Pubmed|26735940]
  • 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 diphosphate H2O = undecaprenyl phosphate phosphate (according to Swiss-Prot)
  • Protein family
