Identification
Name:Lipid A biosynthesis (KDO)2-(lauroyl)-lipid IVA acyltransferase
Synonyms:Not Available
Gene Name:msbB
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in transferase activity, transferring acyl groups
Specific Function:Transfers myristate or laurate, activated on ACP, to the lipid IVA moiety of (KDO)2-(lauroyl)-lipid IVA. Decanoyl, palmitoyl, palmitoleoyl, and (R)-3-hydroxymyristoyl-ACP are poor acyl donors. Functions optimally after laurate incorporation by htrB has taken place. Acylates (KDO)2-(lauroyl)-lipid IVA about 100 times faster than (KDO)2-lipid IVA. Displays a preference for myristoyl-ACP over lauroyl-ACP
Cellular Location:Cell inner membrane; Single-pass membrane protein (Potential)
