4.1.1.98	evolution	UbiX belongs to the FMN-dependent decarboxylase family	746643	
4.1.1.98	malfunction	disruption of the slr1099 gene results in reduced growth rates and plastoquinone contents	727983	
4.1.1.98	malfunction	the Escherichia coli ubiX null mutant accumulates 4-hydroxy-3-octaprenylbenzoic acid, a coenzyme Q8 precursor, and shows decreased UbiG O-methyltransferase activity	729097	
4.1.1.98	metabolism	a set of enzymes, UbiA, UbiB, UbiC, UbiD, UbiE, UbiF, UbiG, UbiH and UbiX, catalyze the synthesis of ubiquinone from the compound chorismate. Enzyme UbiX catalyzes and regulates ubiquinone biosynthesis	746643	
4.1.1.98	metabolism	the enzyme is involved in the decarboxylation step in coenzyme Q biosynthesis	729097	
4.1.1.98	physiological function	the enzyme is required for production of coenzyme Q8 and growth on succinate media	729097
