Identification
Name:3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic-acid transferase
Synonyms:
  • KDO transferase
Gene Name:waaA
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in biosynthetic process
Specific Function:Essential step in lipopolysaccharides biosynthesis. Acts at transfer of 3-deoxy-D-mono octulonic acid (KDO) from CMP-KDO to a tetraacyldisaccharide 1,4'-bisphosphate precursor of lipid A (lipid IVA). Transfers two molecules of KDO to lipid IVA. Degraded by FtsH; therefore FtsH regulates the addition of the sugar moiety of the LPS and thus the maturation of the LPS precursor
Cellular Location:Cell inner membrane; Single-pass membrane protein (Probable)
