An Inner Membrane Enzyme in Salmonella and Escherichia coli That Transfers 4-Amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose to Lipid A
INDUCTION IN POLYMYXIN-RESISTANT MUTANTS AND ROLE OF A NOVEL LIPID-LINKED DONOR*,

From the Dagger  Department of Biochemistry,  Duke NMR Spectroscopy Center and Department of Radiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina 27710, and the || Middle Atlantic Mass Spectrometry Laboratory, Department of Pharmacology and Molecular Sciences, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland 21205-2185

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-alpha -L-Ara4N as its sugar donor, suggesting that L-Ara4N transfer to lipid A occurs on the periplasmic side of the inner membrane.
