(3R)-3-hydroxyarachidonoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + UDP-3-O-((3R)-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-alpha-D-glucosamine
UDP-2-N-((3R)-3-hydroxyarachidonoyl)-3-O-((3R)-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-alpha-D-glucosamine + holo-[acyl-carrier protein]
the external layer of the Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane is primarily composed of a protective, selectively permeable lipopolysaccharide. The biosynthesis of lipopolysaccharide relies on UDP-3-O-acyl-glucosamine N-acyltransferase (LpxD), which transfers 3-hydroxy-arachidonic acid from acyl carrier protein to the 2' amine of UDP-3-O-myristoyl glucosamine. CtLpxD is expected to utilize R-3-hydroxyarachidonoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] and UDP-3-O-(myristoyl)-R-D-glucosamine, based on the predominant molecular species of Chlamydia trachomatis lipid A. This proposal is not validated by in vitro assays

both LpxA and LpxD, from Escherichia coli are also able to incorporate odd-chain fatty acids into lipid A when grown in the presence of 1% propionic acid. When grown on 1% propionic acid lipid A also contains the odd-chain fatty acids tridecanoic acid (C13), pentadecanoic acid (C15), hydroxy tridecanoic acid (C13OH), and hydroxy pentadecanoic acid (C15OH). Escherichia coli lipid A acyltransferases do not have an absolute specificity for 14-carbon hydroxy fatty acids but can transfer fatty acids differing by one carbon unit if the fatty acid substrates are available

R-3-hydroxylauroyl-methylphosphopantetheine is a very poor substrate. The specific activity, measured at either 0.01 mM or 1 mM (3R)-3-hydroxylauroylmethylphosphopantetheine as the acyl donor, is more than 100fold lower than with 0.01 mM (3R)-3-hydroxymyristoyl-[acyl-carrier protein]

ordered-sequential reaction mechanism. Acyl-ACP binds first to free LpxD forming a binary complex. ACP associates with the ACP-recognition domain and the acyl-4'-phosphopantetheine group packs into the hydrophobic N-channel. UDP-acyl-GlcN binds next, which initiates acyl transfer. In the ternary product complex, the 4'-phosphopantetheine arm of hydrolysed-acyl-ACP completely encloses the reaction chamber, blocking UDP-diacyl-GlcN from leaving. By moving the 4'-phosphopantetheine group towards Met 290, the catalytic chamber opens up. This motion drives the eventual release of UDP-diacyl-GlcN and triggers conformational changes downstream of helix-II leading to holo-ACP dissociation

lipid A from strains expressing either of the Porphyromonas gingivalis transferases contains 16-carbon hydroxy fatty acids in addition to the normal Escherichia coli 14-carbon hydroxy fatty acids, demonstrating that these acyltransferases display a relaxed acyl chain length specificity. Both LpxA and LpxD, from either Escherichia coli or Porphyromonas gingivalis are also able to incorporate odd-chain fatty acids into lipid A when grown in the presence of 1% propionic acid. The relaxed specificity of the Porphyromonas gingivalis lipid A acyltransferases and the substrate availability account for the lipid A structural clusters that differ by 14 mass units observed in Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide preparations
