The Escherichia coli gene encoding the UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine pyrophosphatase of lipid A biosynthesis.

UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine hydrolase is believed to catalyze the fourth step of lipid A biosynthesis in Escherichia coli. This reaction involves pyrophosphate bond hydrolysis of the precursor UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine to yield 2,3-diacylglucosamine 1-phosphate and UMP. To identify the gene encoding this hydrolase, E. coli lysates generated with individual lambda clones of the ordered Kohara library were assayed for overexpression of the enzyme. The sequence of lambda clone 157[6E7], promoting overproduction of hydrolase activity, was examined for genes encoding hypothetical proteins of unknown function. The amino acid sequence of one such open reading frame, ybbF, is 50.5% identical to a Haemophilus influenzae hypothetical protein and is also conserved in most other Gram-negative organisms, but is absent in Gram-positives. Cell extracts prepared from cells overexpressing ybbF behind the T7lac promoter have approximately 540 times more hydrolase activity than cells with vector alone. YbbF was purified to approximately 60% homogeneity, and its catalytic properties were examined. Enzymatic activity is maximal at pH 8 and is inhibited by 0.01% (or more) Triton X-100. The apparent K(m) for UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine is 62 microm. YbbF requires a diacylated substrate and does not cleave CDP-diacylglycerol. (31)P NMR studies of the UMP product generated from UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine in the presence of 40% H(2)180 show that the enzyme attacks the alpha-phosphate group of the UDP moiety. Because ybbF encodes the specific UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine hydrolase involved in lipid A biosynthesis, it is now designated lpxH. << Less

Accumulation of the lipid A precursor UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine in an Escherichia coli mutant lacking the lpxH gene.
Babinski K.J., Kanjilal S.J., Raetz C.R.H.
The lpxH gene encodes the UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine-specific pyrophosphatase that catalyzes the fourth step of lipid A biosynthesis in Escherichia coli.

The lpxH gene encodes the UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine-specific pyrophosphatase that catalyzes the fourth step of lipid A biosynthesis in Escherichia coli. To confirm the function of lpxH, we constructed KB21/pKJB5. This strain contains a kanamycin insertion element in the chromosomal copy of lpxH, complemented by plasmid pKJB5, which is temperature-sensitive for replication and harbors lpxH(+). KB21/pKJB5 grows at 30 degrees C but loses viability at 44 degrees C, demonstrating that lpxH is essential. CDP-diglyceride hydrolase (Cdh) catalyzes the same reaction as LpxH in vitro but is non-essential and cannot compensate for the absence of LpxH. The presence of Cdh in cell extracts interferes with the LpxH assay. We therefore constructed KB25/pKJB5, which contains both an in-frame deletion of cdh and a kanamycin insertion mutation in lpxH, covered by pKJB5. When KB25/pKJB5 cells are grown at 44 degrees C, viability is lost, and all in vitro LpxH activity is eliminated. A lipid migrating with synthetic UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine accumulates in KB25/pKJB5 following loss of the covering plasmid at 44 degrees C. This material was converted to the expected products, 2,3-diacylglucosamine 1-phosphate and UMP, by LpxH. Pseudomonas aeruginosa contains two proteins with sequence similarity to E. coli LpxH. The more homologous protein catalyzes UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine hydrolysis in vitro. The corresponding gene complements KB25/pKJB5 at 44 degrees C, but the less homologous gene does not. The accumulation of UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine in our lpxH mutant is consistent with the observation that the lipid A disaccharide synthase LpxB, the next enzyme in the pathway, cannot condense two UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine molecules, but instead utilizes UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine as its donor and 2,3-diacylglucosamine 1-phosphate as its acceptor. << Less
