malfunction | accumulation of lipid A species in the inner membranes of htrB- cells when msbA and orfE are not expressed. The tetra-acylated lipid A precursors that accumulate in htrB mutants may not be transported as efficiently by MsbA as are penta- or hexaacylated lipid A species. LPS accumulates in the inner membranes of htrB-deficient mutants. Introduction of msbA and orfE on low copy plasmids partially restores translocation of LPS to the outer membrane at 42°C in htrB mutants. The Escherichia coli msbA gene also functions as a multicopy suppressor of htrB mutations | Escherichia coli |
physiological function | MsbA is an essential ABC family transporter in lipid A and phospholipid biosynthesis, ATP-dependent transport of nascent core-lipid A molecules across the inner membrane by MsbA. The Escherichia coli msbA gene also functions as a multicopy suppressor of htrB mutations (temperature-sensitive growth of an Escherichia coli mutant lacking htrB and its suppression by extra copies of msbA). The HtrB-catalyzed transfer of laurate to lipid A may be necessary for efficient core-lipid A transport and MsbA and/or OrfE are components of the transport machinery | Escherichia coli |
