    Phenotypes of a mutant

  • 5-fold increased sensitivity to bacitracin [Pubmed|26815905]
  • reduced growth rate [Pubmed|26815905]
  • increased susceptibility to rare earth elements [Pubmed|22904278]
  • a ''[gene|A58729F80A0BB6683648E472E385711A6DE4D373|bcrC]'' ''[gene|5A7A79A11FCBA9C90DAF526B8EAB6791D7D88E99|uppP]'' double mutant is not viable (unless ''[gene|0BF97861B52722347C4BBE533E574CF548A8283E|pgpB]'' is artificially expressed) [Pubmed|27528508]

    • The protein

    Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • undecaprenyl pyrophosphate - undecaprenyl phosphate
  • di-trans,octa-cis-undecaprenyl diphosphate + H2O --> di-trans,octa-cis-undecaprenyl phosphate + H+ + phosphate (according to UniProt)

    • Protein family

  • BcrC/YbjG family (single member, according to UniProt)

    • Effectors of protein activity

  • inhibited by heptaprenyl pyrophosphate which accumulates in a ''[gene|596C09DD1D9C305B7C49B2F5E90E2C6C33F63D0E|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|5A7A79A11FCBA9C90DAF526B8EAB6791D7D88E99|UppP]. However, [protein|5A7A79A11FCBA9C90DAF526B8EAB6791D7D88E99|UppP] seems to play only a minor role. [Pubmed|22904278]
