Bacterial lipid A biosynthesis acyltransferase
lipid A biosynthesis (KDO)2-(lauroyl)-lipid IVA acyltransferase
Transfers myristate or laurate, activated on ACP, to the lipid IVA moiety of (KDO)2-(lauroyl)-lipid IVA
lauroyl-Kdo(2)-lipid IV(A) myristoyltransferase
lauroyl-Kdo(2)-lipid IV(A) myristoyltransferase catalyzes the transfer of myristate from myristoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) to Kdo(2)-(lauroyl)-lipid IV(A) to form Kdo(2)-lipid A; can probably also catalyze the transfer of myristate to Kdo(2)-(palmitoleoyl)-lipid IV(A) to form the cold-adapted Kdo(2)-lipid A
This family consists of LpxM (MsbB) in E. coli and closely related proteins in other species. LpxM is homologous to HtrB (TIGR02207) and acts immediately after it in the biosynthesis of KDO-2 lipid A (also called Re LPS and Re endotoxin). These two enzymes act after creation of KDO-2 lipid IV-A by addition of the KDO sugars.
