General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | LpxD is part of the biosynthesis pathway of lipid A and is responsible for transferring 3-hydroxymyristic acid from the R-3-hydroxymyristoyl-acyl carrier protein to the 2-OH group of UDP-3-O-(3-hydroxymyristoyl) glucosamine. The first three enzymes responsible for Gram-negative bacterial cell-wall synthesis, LpxA, LpxC and LpxD, are all present as single copies and are essential for bacterial viability | Pseudomonas aeruginosa |
