General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction the Escherichia coli ubiX null mutant accumulates 4-hydroxy-3-octaprenylbenzoic acid, a coenzyme Q8 precursor, and shows decreased UbiG O-methyltransferase activity Escherichia coli
metabolism the enzyme is involved in the decarboxylation step in coenzyme Q biosynthesis Escherichia coli
physiological function the enzyme is required for production of coenzyme Q8 and growth on succinate media Escherichia coli
