additional information | the enzyme is uniformly distributed on the membrane of most cells, but occasionally appears as membrane foci as well. Foci and homogenous patterns seem freely interconvertible but the prevalence of the uniform staining suggests that PlsX does not need to localize to specific sites to function correctly. PlsX's foci show no obvious periodicity of localization and do not colocalize with the divisome | Bacillus subtilis | - |

malfunction | depletion of PlsX does not affect cell division if phospholipid synthesis is maintained by an alternative enzyme | Bacillus subtilis |
metabolism | PlsX is a central enzyme of phospholipid synthesis in bacteria, converting acyl-ACP to acyl-phosphate on the pathway to phosphatidic acid formation. PlsX plays a key role in the coordination of fatty acid and phospholipid synthesis | Bacillus subtilis |
