Attachment of the cationic sugar
4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose (L-Ara4N) to
lipid A is required for the maintenance of polymyxin resistance in
Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium.
The enzymes that synthesize L-Ara4N and transfer it to
lipid A have not been identified. We now report an inner membrane
enzyme, expressed in polymyxin-resistant mutants, that adds one or two
L-Ara4N moieties to lipid A or its immediate precursors. No
soluble factors are required. A gene located near minute 51 on the
S. typhimurium and E. coli chromosomes
(previously termed orf5, pmrK, or
yfbI) encodes the L-Ara4N transferase. The
enzyme, renamed ArnT, consists of 548 amino acid residues in S. typhimurium with 12 possible membrane-spanning regions. ArnT
displays distant similarity to yeast protein mannosyltransferases. ArnT
adds two L-Ara4N units to lipid A precursors containing a
Kdo disaccharide. However, as shown by mass spectrometry and NMR
spectroscopy, it transfers only a single L-Ara4N residue to
the 1-phosphate moiety of lipid IVA, a precursor lacking
Kdo. Proteins with full-length sequence similarity to ArnT are present
in genomes of other bacteria thought to synthesize
L-Ara4N-modified lipid A, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Yersinia pestis. As shown in the
following article (Trent, M. S., Ribeiro, A. A., Doerrler,
W. T., Lin, S., Cotter, R. J., and Raetz, C. R. H. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 43132-43144), ArnT
utilizes the novel lipid undecaprenyl phosphate- -L-Ara4N as its sugar donor, suggesting that L-Ara4N transfer to
lipid A occurs on the periplasmic side of the inner membrane.
