EC 2.4.1.182     
Accepted name: lipid-A-disaccharide synthase
Reaction: a UDP-2-N,3-O-bis[(3R)-3-hydroxyacyl]-α-D-glucosamine + a lipid X = UDP + a lipid A disaccharide

Glossary: a lipid X = 2-N-[(3R)-3-hydroxyacyl]-3-O-[(3R)-3-hydroxyacyl]-α-D-glucosamine 1-phosphate =
2-N,3-O-bis[(3R)-3-hydroxyacyl]-α-D-glucosamine
a lipid A disaccharide = a 2-deoxy-2-{[(3R)-3-hydroxyacyl]amino}-3-O-[(3R)-3-hydroxyacyl]-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-2-deoxy-3-O-[(3R)-3-hydroxyacyl]-2-{[(3R)-3-hydroxyacyl]amino}-1-O-phospho-α-D-glucopyranose
Other name(s): lpxB (gene name); UDP-2,3-bis(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)glucosamine:2,3-bis-(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)-β-D-glucosaminyl-1-phosphate 2,3-bis(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)-glucosaminyltransferase (incorrect)
Systematic name: UDP-2-N,3-O-bis[(3R)-3-hydroxyacyl]-α-D-glucosamine:2-N,3-O-bis[(3R)-3-hydroxyacyl]-α-D-glucosamine 1-phosphate 2-N,3-O-bis[(3R)-3-hydroxyacyl]-α-D-glucosaminyltransferase
Comments: Involved with EC 2.3.1.129 (acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein]—UDP-N-acetylglucosamine O-acyltransferase) and EC 2.7.1.130 (tetraacyldisaccharide 4′-kinase) in the biosynthesis of the phosphorylated glycolipid, lipid A, in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria.
