Other names:
KDO transferase
waaA
kdtA
3-deoxy-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid transferase
3-deoxy-manno-octulosonic acid transferase
lipid IVA KDO transferase
Systematic name:
CMP-3-deoxy-β-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonate:lipid IVA 3-deoxy-β-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonate transferase (configuration-inverting)

Reactions

Comments:

The enzyme from Escherichia coli is bifunctional and transfers two 3-deoxy-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonate residues to lipid IVA (cf. EC 2.4.99.13 [(Kdo)-lipid IVA 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid transferase]) [1]. The monofunctional enzymes from Bordetella pertusis, Aquifex aeolicus and Haemophilus influenzae catalyse the transfer of a single 3-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonate residue from CMP-3-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonate to lipid IVA [2-4]. The enzymes from Chlamydia transfer three or more 3-deoxy-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonate residues and generate genus-specific epitopes [5].
