additional information | construction of a several HB-1DELTAlptB lptB deletion mutants, phenotypes, overview. The expression of PagL in the lptH, lptC, lptF, and lptG mutants does not affect LPS mobility, demonstrating that the residual LPS present in these strains does not reach the cell surface. PagL is an outer membrane (OM) enzyme that can remove an acyl chain from LPS when LPS is present at its proper location, i.e. the outer leaflet of the OM | Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B / serotype 15 |

General Information | Comment | Organism |

evolution | the Lpt system does not function in a completely conserved manner in all Gram-negative bacteria | Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B / serotype 15 |
malfunction | the phenotypes of Neisseria meningitidis strains lacking LptB, LptC, LptH (EC 2.7.8.43), LptF, and LptG are identical to those lacking LptD or MsbA, i.e. the knockout mutants are viable but leaky and produce only very little LPS, which is not present at the cell surface | Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B / serotype 15 |
physiological function | biosynthesis of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in Gram-negative bacteria requires the transport of LPS to its destination, the outer leaflet of the outer membrane. In contrast to Escherichia coli, Neisseria meningitidis can survive without LPS and tolerates inactivation of genes involved in LPS synthesis and transport. LptA, LptB, LptC, LptE, LptF, and LptG proteins are not essential in Neisseria meningitidis and are not required for an essential process such as phospholipid transport. The LptD chaperone LptE is not directly involved in lipopolysaccharide transport in Neisseria meningitidis. LptC binds LPS | Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B / serotype 15 |
