Three Bacterial DedA Subfamilies with Distinct Functions and Phylogenetic Distribution
ABSTRACT Recent studies in bacteria have suggested that the broadly conserved but enigmatic DedA proteins function as undecaprenyl-phosphate (UndP) flippases, recycling this essential lipid carrier. To determine whether all DedA proteins have UndP flippase activity, we performed a phylogenetic analy...
