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
