3.1.2.28 malfunction knockout mutant accumulates 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoyl-CoA, contains 13fold less phylloquinone than the wild-type and displays typical photosensitivity to high light intensities associated with phylloquinone deficiency in cyanobacteria 3.1.2.28 physiological function the reaction is involved in phylloquinone (vitamin K1) biosynthesis 3.1.2.28 physiological function cognate T-DNA knock-down lines display reduced 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoyl-CoA thioesterase activity and phylloquinone content 3.1.2.28 physiological function deletion of the 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoyl-coenzyme A hydrolase ydiI gene from the bacterial genome results in a significant decrease in menaquinone production, which is little affected in thioesterases ybgC and entH mutants
