Comments [?]

Function Hydrolyzes the pyrophosphate bond of UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine to yield 2,3-diacylglucosamine 1-phosphate (lipid X) and UMP by catalyzing the attack of water at the alpha-P atom. Involved in the biosynthesis of lipid A, a phosphorylated glycolipid that anchors the lipopolysaccharide to the outer membrane of the cell.
Catalytic activity RHEA:25213: H2O + UDP-2-N,3-O-bis[(3R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoyl]-alpha-D-glucosamine = 2-N,3-O-bis[(3R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoyl]-alpha-D-glucosaminyl 1-phosphate + 2 H(+) + UMP
EC 3.6.1.54
Cofactor Mn(2+)
Note: Binds 2 Mn(2+) ions per subunit in a binuclear metal center
Pathway Glycolipid biosynthesis; lipid IV(A) biosynthesis; lipid IV(A) from (3R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] and UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine: step 4/6.
Subcellular location Cell inner membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side.
Similarity Belongs to the LpxH family.

Comments This step in lipid A biosynthesis is carried out by LpxH in beta- and gammaproteobacteria, by LpxI in alphaproteobacteria, and by LpxG in Chlamydiae. LpxH and LpxG are unique members of the metal-dependent calcineurin-like phosphoesterase (CLP) family, although they share limited sequence similarity. LpxI, on the other hand, is structurally and mechanistically unrelated to LpxH and LpxG. LpxI uses water to attack the beta-phosphate, whereas LpxH and LpxG use water to attack the alpha-phosphate on the common UDP-DAGn substrate. Among these three enzymes, LpxH is most widespread, functioning in ~70% of Gram-negative bacteria and the vast majority of Gram-negative pathogens.
