Ligands: Related: 4ggm Gene: 77330127, CCNA_01987, CC_1910, lpxI (CAUVN) Activity: UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine diphosphatase, with EC number 3.6.1.54 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Publication Abstract from PubMed Enzymes in lipid metabolism acquire and deliver hydrophobic substrates and products from within lipid bilayers. The structure at 2.55 A of one isozyme of a constitutive enzyme in lipid A biosynthesis, LpxI from Caulobacter crescentus, has a novel fold. Two domains close around a completely sequestered substrate, UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine, and open to release products either to the neighboring enzyme in a putative multienzyme complex or to the bilayer. Mutation analysis identifies Asp225 as key to Mg(2+)-catalyzed diphosphate hydrolysis. These structures provide snapshots of the enzymatic synthesis of a critical lipid A precursor. LpxI structures reveal how a lipid A precursor is synthesized.,Metzger LE 4th, Lee JK, Finer-Moore JS, Raetz CR, Stroud RM Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2012 Nov;19(11):1132-8. doi: 10.1038/nsmb.2393.
