A new class EC 7, Translocases, has been added to the EC list. It will be part of ENZYME from release 2018_09. Read more about EC 7 here.

ENZYME entry: EC 2.4.99.15

Accepted Name

(Kdo)(3)-lipid IV(A) (2-4) 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid transferase.

Alternative Name(s)

3-deoxy-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid transferase.

3-deoxy-manno-octulosonic acid transferase.

Kdo transferase.

Reaction catalysed

Alpha-Kdo-(2->8)-alpha-Kdo-(2->4)-alpha-Kdo-(2->6)-lipid IV(A) + CMP-beta-Kdo <=> alpha-Kdo-(2->8)-(alpha-Kdo-(2->4))-alpha-Kdo-(2->4)-alpha-Kdo-(2->6)-lipid IV(A) + CMP

Comment(s)

The enzyme from Chlamydia psittaci transfers four KDO residues to lipid A, forming a branched tetrasaccharide with the structure alpha- KDO-(2,8)-(alpha-KDO-(2,4))-alpha-KDO-(2,4)-alpha-KDO (cf. EC 2.4.99.12, EC 2.4.99.13 and EC 2.4.99.14).
