Functional Family Lipid A export ATP-binding/permease protein MsbA

Enzyme Information

7.5.2.6
ABC-type lipid A-core oligosaccharide transporter.
based on mapping to UniProt Q14JW6
ATP + H(2)O + lipid A-core oligosaccharide(Side 1) = ADP + phosphate + lipid A-core oligosaccharide(Side 2).
-!- An ATP-binding cassette (ABC) type transporter, characterized by the presence of two similar ATP-binding domains/proteins and two integral membrane domains/proteins. -!- The enzyme, best characterized from the bacterium Escherichia coli, is located in the inner membrane and mediates the movement of lipid A attached to the core oligosaccharide from the cytoplasm to the periplasmic side of the inner membrane, an important step in the lipopolysaccharide biosynthetic pathway. -!- Not to be confused with EC 7.5.2.5, which is implicated in the translocation of LPS from the inner membrane to the outer membrane and acts later in the process.
