LptA
|
Class |
Transferases;
Transferring phosphorus-containing groups;
Transferases for other substituted phosphate groups
|
Sysname |
diacylphosphatidylethanolamine:lipid-A ethanolaminephosphotransferase
|
Reaction(IUBMB) |
(1) diacylphosphatidylethanolamine + lipid A = diacylglycerol + lipid A 1-(2-aminoethyl diphosphate);
(2) diacylphosphatidylethanolamine + lipid A = diacylglycerol + lipid A 4'-(2-aminoethyl diphosphate);
(3) diacylphosphatidylethanolamine + lipid A 1-(2-aminoethyl diphosphate) = diacylglycerol + lipid A 1,4'-bis(2-aminoethyl diphosphate)
|
Reaction(KEGG) |
|
Substrate |
diacylphosphatidylethanolamine;
lipid A;
lipid A 1-(2-aminoethyl diphosphate)
|
Product |
diacylglycerol [CPD: C00165];
lipid A 1-(2-aminoethyl diphosphate);
lipid A 4'-(2-aminoethyl diphosphate);
lipid A 1,4'-bis(2-aminoethyl diphosphate)
|
Comment |
The enzyme adds one or two ethanolamine phosphate groups to lipid A giving a diphosphate, sometimes in combination with EC 2.4.2.43 (lipid IVA 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinosyltransferase) giving products with 4-amino-4-deoxy-beta-L-arabinose groups at the phosphates of lipid A instead of diphosphoethanolamine groups. It will also act on lipid IVA and Kdo2-lipid A.
