Gene

Protein
Lipid A 1-phosphatase
Organism
Porphyromonas gingivalis (strain ATCC 33277 / DSM 20709 / CIP 103683 / JCM 12257 / NCTC 11834 / 2561)
Length
445 amino acids
Function
Removes the 1-phosphate group from lipid A species. Absence of phosphate groups in lipid A renders the bacteria resistant to host-derived cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMP) and allowing it to camouflage itself from the host innate immune response.

Protein
Lipid A 1-phosphatase
Organism
Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae (strain 3841)
Length
244 amino acids
Function
Removes the 1-phosphate group from (tetraacyl) lipid A species, has no requirement for the Kdo(2) moiety of lipid A. Has no 4'-phosphatase activity. Reduces sensitivity of S.meliloti strain 1021 to the cationic antimicrobial peptide (CAMP) polymyxin B.
Similarity
Belongs to the lipid A LpxE 1-phosphatase family.

Protein
Lipid A 1-phosphatase
Organism
Rhizobium etli (strain CFN 42 / ATCC 51251)
Length
232 amino acids
Function
Probably removes the 1-phosphate moiety from lipid A species. Does not seem to act on other membrane components, nor does it dephosphorylate the 4'-phosphate group of lipid A and/or lipid A precursors.
Similarity
Belongs to the lipid A LpxE 1-phosphatase family.

Protein
Lipid A 1-phosphatase
Organism
Helicobacter pylori (strain J99 / ATCC 700824)
Length
191 amino acids
Function
Removes the 1-phosphate group from tetra- and probably hexaacylated lipid A species (PubMed:16740959). Absence of the 1-phosphate group renders the bacteria partially resistant to host-derived cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMP), allowing it to camouflage itself from the host innate immune response, and plays a role in the long-term colonization of the host's stomach (PubMed:22216004).
Similarity
Belongs to the lipid A LpxE 1-phosphatase family.

Organism
Helicobacter pylori (strain ATCC 700392 / 26695)
Length
190 amino acids
Function
Removes the 1-phosphate group from tetra- and probably hexaacylated lipid A species, has no requirement for the Kdo moiety of lipid A (PubMed:15489235). Has no 4'-phosphatase activity (PubMed:15489235, PubMed:16740959). Has no activity on phospholipids (phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine or cardiolipin). This enzyme has to act before EptA can attach phosphoethanolamine to the 1-position of lipid A (PubMed:16740959). Absence of the 1-phosphate group renders the bacteria partially resistant to host-derived cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMP), allowing it to camouflage itself from the host innate immune response, and plays a role in the long-term colonization of the host's stomach (By similarity).
