kdtA (3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid transferase)

FEATURES

FAMILY

DESCRIPTION

Also known as KDTA_AQUAE, kdtA. Involved in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis. Catalyzes the transfer of a single 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate (Kdo) residue from CMP-Kdo to lipid IV(A), the tetraacyldisaccharide-1, 4'-bisphosphate precursor of lipid A. Is strictly monofunctional, i.e. is capable of adding only a single Kdo residue to the acceptor lipid. Can form homodimer, homotrimer and homotetramer.
