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)
Structure
[AF|P94571]
Effectors of protein activity
inhibited by heptaprenyl pyrophosphate which accumulates in a ''[gene|596C09DD1D9C305B7C49B2F5E90E2C6C33F63D0E|ytpB]'' mutant [Pubmed|24806199]
[wiki|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]
