Biosynthesis of lipid A in Escherichia coli. Acyl carrier protein-dependent incorporation of laurate and myristate.
Brozek K.A., Raetz C.R.H.
In previous studies we described enzyme(s) from Escherichia coli that transfer two 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate (KDO) residues from two CMP-KDO molecules to a tetraacyldisaccharide-1,4'-bis-phosphate precursor of lipid A, termed lipid IVA (Brozek, K. A., Hosaka, K., Robertson, A. D., and Raetz, C. ... >> More
In previous studies we described enzyme(s) from Escherichia coli that transfer two 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate (KDO) residues from two CMP-KDO molecules to a tetraacyldisaccharide-1,4'-bis-phosphate precursor of lipid A, termed lipid IVA (Brozek, K. A., Hosaka, K., Robertson, A. D., and Raetz, C. R. H. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 6956-6966). The product, designated (KDO)2-IVA, can be prepared in milligram quantities and/or radiolabeled with 32P at position 4' of the IVA moiety. We now demonstrate the presence of enzymes in E. coli extracts that transfer laurate and/or myristate residues from lauroyl or myristoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) to (KDO)2-IVA. Thioesters of coenzyme A are not substrates. The cytosolic fraction catalyzes rapid acylation with lauroyl-ACP, but not with myristoyl, R-3-hydroxymyristoyl, palmitoyl, or palmitoleoyl-ACP. The membrane fraction transfers both laurate and myristate to (KDO)2-IVA. Evidence for the enzymatic acylation of (KDO)2-IVA is provided by (a) conversion of [4'-32P](KDO)2-IVA to more rapidly migrating products in the presence of the appropriate acyl-ACP, (b) incorporation of [1-14C]laurate or [1-14C]myristate into these metabolites in the presence of (KDO)2-IVA, (c) fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry, and (d) 1H NMR spectroscopy. At protein concentrations less than 0.5 mg/ml, the acylation of (KDO)2-IVA by the cytoplasmic fraction is absolutely dependent upon the addition of exogenous acyl-ACP. These acyltransferases cannot utilize lipid IVA as a substrate, demonstrating that they possess novel KDO recognition domains. The unusual substrate specificity of these enzymes provides compelling evidence for their involvement in lipid A biosynthesis. Depending on the conditions it is possible to acylate (KDO)2-IVA with 1 or 2 lauroyl residues, with 1 or 2 myristoyl residues, or with 1 of each. << Less

Escherichia coli lipid A is a hexaacylated disaccharide of glucosamine with secondary laurate and myristate chains on the distal unit. Hexaacylated lipid A is a potent agonist of human Toll-like receptor 4, whereas its tetra- and pentaacylated precursors are antagonists. The inner membrane enzyme LpxL transfers laurate from lauroyl-acyl carrier protein to the 2'-R-3-hydroxymyristate moiety of the tetraacylated lipid A precursor Kdo 2-lipid IV A. LpxL has now been overexpressed, solubilized with n-dodecyl beta-d-maltopyranoside (DDM), and purified to homogeneity. LpxL migration on a gel filtration column is consistent with a molecular mass of 80 kDa, suggestive of an LpxL monomer (36 kDa) embedded in a DDM micelle. Mass spectrometry showed that deformylated LpxL was the predominant species, noncovalently bound to as many as 12 DDM molecules. Purified LpxL catalyzed not only the formation in vitro of Kdo 2-(lauroyl)-lipid IV A but also a slow second acylation, generating Kdo 2-(dilauroyl)-lipid IV A. Consistent with the Kdo dependence of crude LpxL in membranes, Kdo 2-lipid IV A is preferred 6000-fold over lipid IV A by the pure enzyme. Sequence comparisons suggest that LpxL shares distant homology with the glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) family, including a putative catalytic dyad located in a conserved H(X) 4D/E motif. Mutation of H132 or E137 to alanine reduces specific activity by over 3 orders of magnitude. Like many GPATs, LpxL can also utilize acyl-CoA as an alternative acyl donor, albeit at a slower rate. Our results show that the acyltransferases that generate the secondary acyl chains of lipid A are members of the GPAT family and set the stage for structural studies. << Less

Function of the htrB high temperature requirement gene of Escherchia coli in the acylation of lipid A: HtrB catalyzed incorporation of laurate.

By assaying lysates of Escherichia coli generated with the hybrid lambda bacteriophages of an ordered library (Kohara, Y., Akiyama, K., and Isono, K. (1987) Cell 50, 495-508), we identified two clones (lambda232 and lambda233) capable of overexpressing the lauroyl transferase that functions after 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (Kdo) addition in lipid A biosynthesis (Brozek, K. A., and Raetz, C. R. H. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 15410-15417). The E. coli DNA inserts in lambda232 and lambda233 suggested that a known gene (htrB) required for rapid growth above 33 degrees C might encode the lauroyl transferase. Using the intermediate (Kdo)2-lipid IVA as the laurate acceptor, extracts of strains with transposon insertions in htrB were found to contain no lauroyl transferase activity. Cells harboring hybrid htrB+ plasmids overproduced transferase activity 100-200-fold. The overproduced transferase was solubilized with a non-ionic detergent and purified further by DEAE-Sepharose chromatography. With lauroyl acyl carrier protein as the donor, the purified enzyme rapidly incorporated one laurate residue into (Kdo)2-lipid IVA. The rate of laurate incorporation was reduced by several orders of magnitude when either one or both Kdos were absent in the acceptor. With a matched set of acyl-acyl carrier proteins, the enzyme incorporated laurate 3-8 times faster than decanoate or myristate, respectively. Transfer of palmitate, palmitoleate, or R-3-hydroxymyristate was very slow. Taken together with previous studies, our findings indicate that htrB encodes a key, late functioning acyltransferase of lipid A biosynthesis. << Less
