Protein name

RecName: Full=UDP-3-O-[3-hydroxymyristoyl] N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase; EC=3.5.1.-; AltName: Full=UDP-3-O-acyl-GlcNAc deacetylase;

Gene name

lpxC

FUNCTION: Involved in the biosynthesis of lipid A, a phosphorylated glycolipid that anchors the lipopolysaccharide to the outer membrane of the cell (By similarity).

FUNCTION: Involved in the biosynthesis of lipid A, a phosphorylated glycolipid that in bacteria anchors the lipopolysaccharide to the outer membrane of the cell. The target for the lipopolysaccharides produced in the chloroplast could either be the cell envelope of the eukaryote or the plastid membrane (Potential).

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: UDP-3-O-(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)-N-acetylglucosamine + H(2)O = UDP-3-O-(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)-glucosamine + acetate.

PATHWAY: Glycolipid biosynthesis; lipid (IV)A biosynthesis; lipid IV(A) from (3R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] and UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine: step 2/6.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Plastid, chloroplast.

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the lpxC family.
