description | This entry represents a group of bacterial proteins that include the lipid A deacylase LpxR from Salmonella typhimurium. LpxR is an outer membrane protein that catalyses the removal of the the 3'-acyloxyacyl moiety from lipid A. It requires Ca2+ for its activity. This enzyme folds into a 12-stranded antiparallel β-barrel with the N- and C- terminal ends pointing towards the periplasm and three extracellular loops consisting of α-helical regions at the opposite side of the β-barrel []. |
