Two new enzymes that liberate undecaprenyl-phosphate to replenish the carrier lipid pool during envelope stress

ABSTRACT The 55-carbon isoprenoid, undecaprenyl-phosphate (UndP), is a universal carrier lipid that ferries most glycans and glycopolymers across the cytoplasmic membrane in bacteria. In addition to peptidoglycan precursors, UndP transports O-antigen, capsule, wall teichoic acids, and sugar modifica...
