Superfamily Hexapeptide repeat proteins
Functional Family UDP-3-O-(3-hydroxymyristoyl)glucosamine N-acyltransferase

Enzyme Information

2.3.1.191
UDP-3-O-(3-hydroxymyristoyl)glucosamine N-acyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt P21645
(3R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + UDP-3-O-((3R)- hydroxytetradecanoyl)-alpha-D-glucosamine = UDP-2-N,3-O-bis((3R)-3- hydroxytetradecanoyl)-alpha-D-glucosamine + a holo-[acyl-carrier- protein].
-!- The enzyme catalyzes a step of lipid A biosynthesis. -!- LpxD from Escherichia coli prefers (R,S)-3-hydroxymyristoyl-[acyl- carrier protein] over (R,S)-3-hydroxypalmitoyl-[acyl-carrier protein]. -!- E.coli lipid A acyltransferases do not have an absolute specificity for 14-carbon hydroxy fatty acids but can transfer fatty acids differing by one carbon unit if the fatty acid substrates are available. -!- When grown on 1% propionic acid, lipid A also contains the odd-chain fatty acids tridecanoic acid, pentadecanoic acid, hydroxytridecanoic acid, and hydroxypentadecanoic acid. -!- Formerly EC 2.3.1.n1.
