General Information | Comment | Organism |

evolution | apolipoprotein N-acyltransferase Lnt is Lnt is a reverse amidase and belongs to the nitrilase superfamily. Nitrilases generally require the Glu/Lys/Cys catalytic triad's conformation, also found in Lnt, and have a conserved alphabetabetaalpha sandwich fold. First, the intermediate is formed by the nucleophilic attack on the sn-1-glycerophospholipid's carbonyl (in phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), preferentially). Second, the intermediate (acyl-Lnt) undergoes a nucleophilic attack by the alpha-amino group of the protein substrate generating the triacylated lipoprotein | Escherichia coli |
metabolism | three membrane proteins are involved in processing precursors of lipoproteins, in the following order: the diacylglyceryl transferase Lgt, the signal peptidase LspA, and the N-acyltransferase Lnt | Escherichia coli |
additional information | structure-function analysis of enzyme Lnt, significance of unique features in terms of substrate's recognition and binding mechanism influenced by exclusive residues, two transmembrane helices, and a flexible loop, structure comparisons, detailed overview. In the Lnt structure, a catalytic triad (E267/K335/C387) is accessible near TMHs 3, 4 and 5, and a long and unique loop (also described as an arm, lid, etc.) containing a short helix. The Lnt full reaction occurs as a two-step ping-pong. E343 as an important and conserved residue | Escherichia coli |
physiological function | Lnt acts on apolipoproteins. It catalyzes the transfer of an acyl chain from the sn-1 position of a lipid to the N-terminal cysteine, generating a triacylated lipoprotein. In its structure, a catalytic triad (E267/K335/C387) is accessible near TMHs 3, 4 and 5, and a long and unique loop (also described as an arm, lid, etc.) containing a short helix | Escherichia coli |
