The firA gene of Escherichia coli encodes UDP-3-O-(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-glucosamine N-acyltransferase. The third step of endotoxin biosynthesis.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 15 Sept 1993

Abstract excerpt

The possibility that the firA gene of Escherichia coli (Dicker, I. B., and Seetharam, S. (1991) Mol. Microbiol. 6, 817-823) might function in lipid A biosynthesis was examined based on its homology to the lpxA gene, which encodes UDP-N-acetylglucosamine O-acyl-transferase, the first enzyme in lipid A formation. Extracts of a temperature-sensitive firA mutant, RL-25, were assayed for their ability to acylate...
