Di-trans,poly-cis-undecaprenyl phosphate (ECMDB20310) (M2MDB001145)

General function:

Involved in phospho-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide-transferase activity

Specific function:

First step of the lipid cycle reactions in the biosynthesis of the cell wall peptidoglycan

Gene Name:

mraY

Uniprot ID:

P0A6W3

Molecular weight:

39875

Reactions

General function:

Involved in catalytic activity

Specific function:

Hydrolyzes phosphatidylglycerophosphate, phosphatidic acid, and lysophosphatidic acid; the pattern of activities varies according to subcellular location

Gene Name:

pgpB

Uniprot ID:

P0A924

Molecular weight:

29021

Reactions

General function:

Involved in magnesium ion binding

Specific function:

Catalyzes the transfer of the GlcNAc-1-phosphate moiety from UDP-GlcNAc onto the carrier lipid undecaprenyl phosphate (C55-P), yielding GlcNAc-pyrophosphoryl-undecaprenyl (GlcNAc-PP- C55). It is the first lipid-linked intermediate involved in enterobacterial common antigen (ECA) synthesis and an acceptor for the addition of subsequent sugars to complete the biosynthesis of O-antigen. The apparent affinity of WecA for the polyisoprenyl phosphate substrates increases with the polyisoprenyl chain length. WecA is unable to utilize dolichyl phosphate (Dol-P)

Gene Name:

wecA

Uniprot ID:

P0AC78

Molecular weight:

40957

Reactions

General function:

Involved in undecaprenyl-diphosphatase activity

Specific function:

Catalyzes the dephosphorylation of undecaprenyl diphosphate (UPP). Confers resistance to bacitracin

Gene Name:

uppP

Uniprot ID:

P60932

Molecular weight:

29758

Reactions

General function:

Involved in catalytic activity

Specific function:

Overexpression leads to increased undecaprenyl diphosphatase activity and to increased resistance to bacitracin. May have a preferred substrate other than undecaprenyl diphosphate in vivo

Gene Name:

ybjG

Uniprot ID:
