Comments [?]

case <OC:Escherichia>
Function Catalyzes the transfer of myristate from myristoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] (ACP) to Kdo(2)-(lauroyl)-lipid IV(A) to form Kdo(2)-lipid A.
Catalytic activity RHEA:28438: alpha-Kdo-(2->4)-alpha-Kdo-(2->6)-(dodecanoyl)-lipid IVA (E. coli) + tetradecanoyl-[ACP] = alpha-Kdo-(2->4)-alpha-Kdo-(2->6)-lipid A (E. coli) + holo-[ACP]
EC 2.3.1.243
else
Function Catalyzes the transfer of an acyl chain from an acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] (ACP) to a Kdo(2)-(acyl)-lipid IV(A) to form a Kdo(2)-lipid A.
Catalytic activity RHEA:69400: a fatty acyl-[ACP] + an alpha-Kdo-(2->4)-alpha-Kdo-(2->6)-(acyl)-lipid IVA = an alpha-Kdo-(2->4)-alpha-Kdo-(2->6)-lipid A + holo-[ACP]
EC 2.3.1.243
end case
Pathway Glycolipid biosynthesis; KDO(2)-lipid A biosynthesis; KDO(2)-lipid A from CMP-3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate and lipid IV(A): step 4/4.
Bacterial outer membrane biogenesis; lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis.
Subcellular location Cell inner membrane; Single-pass membrane protein.
Similarity Belongs to the LpxL/LpxM/LpxP family. LpxM subfamily.
