2.4.1.182	metabolism	LpxB is a glycosyltransferase in the Raetz (lipid A synthesis) pathway that catalyzes nucleophilic attack of the 6'-hydroxyl of lipid X on the anomeric carbon of UDP-diacyl-glucosamine (UDP-DAG) to form beta(1-6)-tetraacyl-disaccharide 1-phosphate (lipid A disaccharide)	759836	
2.4.1.182	metabolism	the enzyme is involved in the lipid A biosynthesis catalyzing the fifth step, LpxH and LpxB may form a complex that performs metabolic channeling. LpxB combines lipid X with the preceding lipid metabolite, UDP-2,3-bis(beta-hydroxymyristoyl)-D-glucosamine, to form lipid A disaccharide.

2.4.1.182	additional information	Escherichia coli enzyme LpxB has a glycosyltransferase-B family fold but with a highly intertwined, C-terminally swapped dimer comprising four domains. Homology modeling using the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase structure from Thermus thermophilus strain HB8 (PDB ID 1V4V) as template, structure comparisons, overview. The hydrophobic patch (V66, V68, L69, L72, L75, and L76) is essential for productive membrane association or substrate binding	759836	
2.4.1.182	physiological function	most Gram-negative bacteria are surrounded by a glycolipid called lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which forms a barrier to hydrophobic toxins and, in pathogenic bacteria, is a virulence factor. During LPS biosynthesis, the membrane-associated glycosyltransferase (LpxB) forms a tetraacylated disaccharide that is further acylated to form the membrane anchor moiety of LPS. LpxB is essential for growth of Escherichia coli and is among the most highly conserved enzymes in the Raetz pathway	759836
