lpxM2

Lipid A biosynthesis myristoyltransferase 2

314 amino acids

Catalyzes the transfer of myristate from myristoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) to Kdo(2)-(lauroyl)-lipid IV(A) to form Kdo(2)-lipid A. Can probably also catalyze the transfer of myristate to Kdo(2)-(palmitoleoyl)-lipid IV(A) to form the cold-adapted Kdo(2)-lipid A.

Belongs to the LpxL/LpxM/LpxP family. LpxM subfamily.
