ENZYME entry: EC 2.3.1.241

Accepted Name
Kdo2-lipid IVA acyltransferase
Alternative Name(s)
(Kdo)2-lipid IVA lauroyltransferase
alpha-Kdo-(2->4)-alpha-(2->6)-lipid IVA lauroyltransferase
Kdo2-lipid IVA lauroyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
a fatty acyl-[ACP] + an alpha-Kdo-(2->4)-alpha-Kdo-(2->6)-lipid IVA <=> an alpha-Kdo-(2->4)-alpha-Kdo-(2->6)-(acyl)-lipid IVA + holo-[ACP]
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of the phosphorylated outer membrane glycolipid lipid A.
  • It transfers an acyl group to the 3-O position of the 3R-hydroxyacyl already attached to the nitrogen of the non-reducing glucosamine molecule.
  • The enzyme from the bacterium Escherichia coli is specific for lauryl (C12) acyl groups, giving the enzyme its previous accepted name.
  • However, enzymes from different species accept highly variable substrates.
