Crystal structure of lipid A disaccharide synthase LpxB from Escherichia coli
LpxB is a membrane-associated glycosyltransferase required for bacterial lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis. Here, Bohl et al. solve the crystal structure of a soluble LpxB variant, showing an intertwined C-terminally swapped dimer, and residues likely mediating association with lipidic substrates or t...
