UDP-3-O-acyl-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase
The enzymes in this family catalyse the second step in the biosynthetic pathway for lipid A. [1]. 10753902. Antibacterial agents that target lipid A biosynthesis in gram-negative bacteria. Inhibition of diverse UDP-3-O-(r-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-n-acetylglucosamine deacetylases by substrate analogs containing zinc binding motifs. Jackman JE, Fierke CA, Tumey LN, Pirrung M, Uchiyama T, Tahir SH, Hindsgaul O, Raetz CR;. J Biol Chem 2000;275:11002-11009. (from Pfam)
UDP-3-O-acyl-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase catalyzes the hydrolysis of UDP-3-O-myristoyl-N-acetylglucosamine to form UDP-3-O-myristoylglucosamine and acetate, the committed step in lipid A biosynthesis
UDP-3-O-acyl-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase from E. coli, LpxC, was previously designated EnvA. This enzyme is involved in lipid-A precursor biosynthesis. It is essential for cell viability.
