2.7.1.235

Accepted name:

lipopolysaccharide core heptose(I) kinase

Reaction:

ATP + an α-Hep-(1→3)-α-Hep-(1→5)-[α-Kdo-(2→4)]-α-Kdo-(2→6)-[lipid A] = ADP + an α-Hep-(1→3)-4-O-phospho-α-Hep-(1→5)-[α-Kdo-(2→4)]-α-Kdo-(2→6)-[lipid A]

Glossary:

Lipid A is a lipid component of the lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of Gram-negative bacteria. It usually consists of two glucosamine units connected by a β(1→6) bond and decorated with four to seven acyl chains and up to two phosphate groups.
Hep = L-glycero-β-D-manno-heptose

Other name(s):

WaaP; RfaP

Systematic name:

ATP:an α-Hep-(1→3)-α-Hep-(1→5)-[α-Kdo-(2→4)]-α-Kdo-(2→6)-[lipid A] heptose^I 4-O-phosphotransferase

Comments:

The enzyme catalyses the phosphorylation of L-glycero-D-manno-heptose I (the first heptose added to the lipid, Hep I) in the biosynthesis of the inner core oligosaccharide of the lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin) of some Gram-negative bacteria.
