BacA

• PFAM accession number: PF02673
• Interpro abstract (IPR003824):

  This is a family of small, highly hydrophobic proteins. Over-expression of this protein in Escherichia coli is associated with bacitracin resistance [ (PUBMED:8389741) ], and the protein was originally proposed to be an undecaprenol kinase called bacA. BacA protein, however, does not show undecaprenol phosphokinase activity [ (PUBMED:15138271) ]. It is now known to be an undecaprenyl pyrophosphate phosphatase ( EC 3.6.1.27 ) and is renamed UppP. It is not the only protein associated with bacitracin resistance [ (PUBMED:15946938) (PUBMED:15778224) ].

• GO process: dephosphorylation (GO:0016311)
• GO component: membrane (GO:0016020)
• GO function: undecaprenyl-diphosphatase activity (GO:0050380)
