| UniProt functional annotation for O67648 | |||
| UniProt code: O67648. |
| Organism: | Aquifex aeolicus (strain VF5). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Aquificae; Aquificales; Aquificaceae; Aquifex. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the hydrolysis of UDP-3-O-myristoyl-N- acetylglucosamine to form UDP-3-O-myristoylglucosamine and acetate, the committed step in lipid A biosynthesis. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00388, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11148046}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=H2O + UDP-3-O-[(3R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoyl]-N-acetyl-alpha-D- glucosamine = acetate + UDP-3-O-[(3R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoyl]-alpha- D-glucosamine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:25209, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:30089, ChEBI:CHEBI:61494, ChEBI:CHEBI:71573; EC=3.5.1.108; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00388, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11148046, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15705580}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00388, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11148046}; | |
| 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 2/6. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00388}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the LpxC family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00388}. | |
