Crystal Structure and Acyl Chain Selectivity of Escherichia coli LpxD, the N-Acyltransferase of Lipid A Biosynthesis

LpxD catalyzes the third step of lipid A biosynthesis, the R-3-hydroxyacyl-ACP-dependent N-acylation of UDP-3-O-(acyl)- α-D-glucosamine, and is a target for new antibiotic development. Here we report the 2.6 Å crystal structure of the Escherichia coli LpxD homotrimer (EcLpxD). As is the case in Chla...
