UbiB proteins mediate an ATP-dependent decarboxylation step in bacterial ubiquinone biosynthesis

This study identifies UbiB as an ATP-dependent decarboxylase in bacterial ubiquinone biosynthesis, showing it can replace the UbiX/UbiD system in Escherichia coli.

Selective inhibition of anaerobic ubiquinone biosynthesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

This study identifies pABA as an inhibitor of anaerobic ubiquinone biosynthesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, targeting its unique O2-independent pathway to disrupt anaerobic metabolism.
