Phenotypes of a mutant

• essential [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=12682299 according to Kobayashi et al. ]; however, inactivation reported by [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=26735940 Meeske et al. ] and [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=20511502 Block et al. ]
• inactivation of ''[gene|DDD40AEBBCBD3C19661A72B85912E266DBF267B3|menH]'' reduces sporulation efficiency to 12.7% that of wild type cells [Pubmed|26735940]

The protein

Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

• S-adenosyl-L-methionine + demethylmenaquinol = s-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + menaquinol (according to Swiss-Prot)

Structure

• [PDB|1OBW] (from ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'', 31% identity) [Pubmed|9201917]
