Protein
Lipid A palmitoyltransferase PagP
Organism
Escherichia coli (strain K12)
Function
Transfers a palmitate residue from the sn-1 position of a phospholipid to the N-linked hydroxymyristate on the proximal unit of lipid A or its precursors. Phosphatidylglycerol (PtdGro), phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn), phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) and phosphatidic acid (Ptd-OH) are all effective acyl donors.
Similarity
Belongs to the lipid A palmitoyltransferase family.
