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 |
