Lauroyl/myristoyl acyltransferase [Lipid transport and metabolism].

Lysophospholipid Acyltransferases (LPLATs) of Glycerophospholipid Biosynthesis: LABLAT-like. Lysophospholipid acyltransferase (LPLAT) superfamily member: acyltransferases of de novo and remodeling pathways of glycerophospholipid biosynthesis which catalyze the incorporation of an acyl group from either acylCoAs or acyl-acyl carrier proteins (acylACPs) into acceptors such as glycerol 3-phosphate, dihydroxyacetone phosphate or lyso-phosphatidic acid. Included in this subgroup are such LPLATs as lipid A biosynthesis lauroyl/myristoyl (LABLAT, HtrB) acyltransferases and similar proteins.

Bacterial lipid A biosynthesis acyltransferase.

lipopolysaccharide heptosyltransferase and similar proteins. Lipopolysaccharide heptosyltransferase (2.4.99.B6) is involved in the biosynthesis of lipooligosaccharide (LOS). Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a major component of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. LPS heptosyltransferase transfers heptose molecules from ADP-heptose to 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (KDO), a part of the inner core component of LPS. This family also contains lipopolysaccharide 1,2-N-acetylglucosaminetransferase EC 2.4.1.56 and belongs to the GT-B structural superfamily of glycoslytransferases, which have characteristic N- and C-terminal domains each containing a typical Rossmann fold. The two domains have high structural homology despite minimal sequence homology. The large cleft that separates the two domains includes the catalytic center and permits a high degree of flexibility.
