Thus, LpxD is essential to survival of Gram-negative bacteria. It catalyzes the N-acylation of UDP-3-O-(3-hydroxytetradeanoyl)glucosamine[1]. LpxD is structurally similar to LpxA which functions as the first enzye in the lipid A biosynthesis. Relevance LpxD inhibitors are antimicrobials[2]. Structural highlights The biological assembly of UDP-3-O-(3-hydroxymyristoyl)glucosamine N-acyltransferase is (PDB code 6uec). The 3D structure of LpxD complex with a ligand shows the binding site to be situated at . There are extensive polar interactions with LpxD as well as hydrogen bonds[3].
