EC 7.5.2.6 Details
EC number
7.5.2.6
Accepted name
ABC-type lipid A-core oligosaccharide transporter
Reaction
ATP + H2O + lipid A-core oligosaccharide[side 1] = ADP + phosphate + lipid A-core oligosaccharide[side 2]
Other name(s)
MsbA, lipid flippase, ATP-dependent lipid A-core flippase
Systematic name
ATP phosphohydrolase (ABC-type, lipid A-core oligosaccharide-translocating)
Comment
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, ABC-type lipopolysaccharide transporter (LptB), which is implicated in the translocation of LPS from the inner membrane to the outer membrane and acts later in the process.
