UDP-3-O-acyl-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase (EC 3.5.1.108), also known as LpxC, is a zinc-dependent enzyme involved in bacterial lipid A biosynthesis, catalyzing the removal of the acetyl group from UDP-3-O-acyl-N-acetylglucosamine, a key step in the production of lipopolysaccharides in the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Contents

This enzyme catalyses the chemical reaction:

UDP-3-O-[(3R)-3-hydroxymyristoyl]-N-acetylglucosamine + H2O UDP-3-O-[(3R)-3-hydroxymyristoyl]-D-glucosamine + acetate

Nomenclature

UDP-3-O-acyl-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase is also known as:

Inhibitors

Various inhibitors of LpxC have been developed as potential antibiotics, though none have yet reached clinical trials. [7] [8] [9]
