Systematic name: (3R)-3-hydroxyacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein]:UDP-2-acetamido-3-amino-2,3-dideoxy-α-D-glucopyranose 3-N-[(3R)-hydroxyacyl]transferase
Comments: The enzyme is found in bacterial species whose lipid A contains 2,3-diamino-2,3-dideoxy-D-glucopyranose. Some enzymes, such as that from Leptospira interrogans, are highly specific for 2,3-diamino-2,3-dideoxy-D-glucopyranose, while others, such as the enzyme from Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, are also able to accept UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosamine (cf. EC 2.3.1.129, acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein]—UDP-N-acetylglucosamine O-acyltransferase). The enzymes from different organisms also differ in their specificity for the acyl donor. The enzyme from Leptospira interrogans is highly specific for (3R)-3-hydroxydodecanoyl-[acp], while that from Mesorhizobium loti functions almost equally well with 10-, 12-, and 14-carbon 3-hydroxyacyl-[acp]s.

Comments: The formation of N-glycosidic linkages of glycoproteins involves the ordered assembly of the common Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 core-oligosaccharide on the lipid carrier dolichyl diphosphate. Early mannosylation steps occur on the cytoplasmic side of the endoplasmic reticulum with GDP-Man as donor, the final reactions from Man5GlcNAc2-PP-dolichol to Man9Glc-NAc2-PP-dolichol on the lumenal side use dolichyl β-D-mannosyl phosphate. The first step of this assembly pathway on the luminal side of the endoplasmic reticulum is catalysed by ALG3.

Comments: Integral membrane protein present in the inner membrane of certain Gram negative endobacteria. In strains that do not produce 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (Kdo), the enzyme adds a single arabinose unit to the 1-phosphate moiety of the tetra-acylated lipid A precursor, lipid IVA. In the presence of a Kdo disaccharide, the enzyme primarily adds an arabinose unit to the 4-phosphate of lipid A molecules. The Salmonella typhimurium enzyme can add arabinose units to both positions.

EC 2.4.99.26     
Accepted name: O-antigen ligase
Reaction: a lipid-linked O antigen + a lipid A-core oligosaccharide = a lipopolysaccharide + a polyisoprenyl diphosphate
Other name(s): waaL (gene name); surface polymer:lipid A-core ligase; rfaL (gene name)
Systematic name: lipid-linked O-antigen:lipid A-core oligosaccharide O-antigen transferase (configuration-inverting)
Comments: This Gram-negative bacterial enzyme attaches the polymerized O antigen molecule to the outer core region of the lipid A-core oligosaccharide, finalizing the biosynthesis of the lipopolysaccharide. Prior to the reaction the two substrates are attached to the periplasmic-facing side of the inner membrane, and the enzyme transfers the O-antigen from its polyprenyl diphosphate membrane anchor (usually ditrans,octacis-undecaprenyl diphosphate) to a terminal sugar of the lipid A-core oligosaccharide. Despite the popular name "ligase", the enzyme is not a real ligase, as the reaction does not involve the hydrolysis of a phosphate bond in a triphosphate. The enzyme is embedded in the inner membrane and often has 12 trans-membrane segments. It is a metal-independent inverting glycosyltransferase, and in some cases it can attach surface polymers other than O-antigens to the lipid A-core oligosaccharide.

EC 2.4.99.27     
Accepted name: O-antigen polymerase Wzy
Reaction: n lipid-linked O-antigen repeat units = a lipid-linked O antigen + (n−1) polyisoprenyl diphosphate
Other name(s): wzy (gene name); rfc (gene name); Wzy O-antigen polymerase; Wzy polymerase
Systematic name: lipid-linked O-antigen repeat unit:O-antigen O-antigen repeat-unit transferase
Comments: The Wzy-type polymerase polymerizes O antigen repeat unit oligosaccharides that are anchored to the periplasmic face of the inner membrane, forming an O antigen polysaccharide that is still anchored to the membrane. A Wzz chain length regulator (sometimes referred to as an O-antigen co-polymerase) normally interacts with Wzy to confer a distinctive modal chain length distribution. The resultant polysaccharide is transferred from the membrane anchor to the lipid A-core oligosaccharide by EC 2.4.99.26, O-antigen ligase, forming a complete lipopolysaccharide structure. There is an enormous diversity of O antigen polymerases with different specificities, reflecting the variability in the structure and composition of O-antigens.

EC 3.1.1.77     
Accepted name: acyloxyacyl hydrolase
Reaction: 3-(acyloxy)acyl group of bacterial toxin + H2O = 3-hydroxyacyl group of bacterial toxin + a fatty acid
For diagram of reaction, click here
Comments: The substrate is lipid A on the reducing end of the toxic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Salmonella typhimurium and related organisms. It consists of diglucosamine, β-D-GlcN-(1→ 6)-D-GlcN, attached by glycosylation on O-6 of its non-reducing residue, phosphorylated on O-4 of this residue and on O-1 of its potentially reducing residue. Both residues carry 3-(acyloxy)acyl groups on N-2 and O-3. The enzyme from human leucocytes detoxifies the lipid by hydrolysing the secondary acyl groups from O-3 of the 3-hydroxyacyl groups on the disaccharide (LPS). It also possesses a wide range of phospholipase and acyltransferase activities [e.g. EC 3.1.1.4 (phospholipase A2), EC 3.1.1.5 (lysophospholipase), EC 3.1.1.32 (phospholipase A1) and EC 3.1.1.52 (phosphatidylinositol deacylase)], hydrolysing diacylglycerol and phosphatidyl compounds, but not triacylglycerols. It has a preference for saturated C12-C16 acyl groups.

EC 3.4.21.60     
Accepted name: scutelarin
Reaction: Selective cleavage of Arg┼Thr and Arg┼Ile in prothrombin to form thrombin and two inactive fragments
Other name(s): taipan activator; Oxyuranus scutellatus prothrombin-activating proteinase
Comments: From the venom of the Taipan snake (Oxyuranus scutellatus). Converts prothrombin to thrombin. Specificity is similar to that of Factor Xa (EC 3.4.21.6). However, unlike Factor Xa this enzyme can cleave its target in the absence of coagulation Factor Va. Activity is potentiated by phospholipid and Ca2+ which binds via γ-carboxyglutamic acid residues. Similar enzymes are known from the venom of other Australian elapid snakes, including Pseudonaja textilis textilis, Oxyuranus microlepidotus and Demansia nuchalis affinis. A member of peptidase family S1.
