 | Escherichia coli | - | ArnA is a bi-functional enzyme, the oxidative decarboxylation of UDP-glucuronic acid is catalyzed by the 345-residue C-terminal domain of ArnA. The 304-residue N-terminal domain catalyzes the N-10-formyltetrahydrofolate-dependent formylation of the 4''-amine of UDP-L-4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose, generating the sugar nucleotide, uridine 5'-diphospho-beta-(4-deoxy-4-formamido-L-arabinose). The two domains of ArnA are expressed independently as active proteins in Escherichia coli. Both are required for maintenance of polymyxin resistance and 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose modification of lipid A. only the formylated sugar nucleotide is converted in vitro to an undecaprenyl phosphate-linked form by the enzyme ArnC | 698730 | - | - | ? |

 | Escherichia coli | P77398 | ArnA is a key enzyme in the lipid A modification pathway, and its deletion abolishes both the Ara4N-lipid A modification and polymyxin resistance. ArnA is a bifunctional enzyme. It can catalyze the NAD+-dependent decarboxylation of UDP-glucuronic acid to UDP-4-keto-arabinose and the N-10-formyltetrahydrofolatedependent formylation of UDP-4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose | 696203 | - | - | ? |

 | Escherichia coli | - | modification of the lipid A moiety of lipopolysaccharide by the addition of the sugar 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose is a strategy adopted by pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria to evade cationic antimicrobial peptides produced by the innate immune system. The bifunctional enzyme ArnA is required for 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose biosynthesis and catalyzes the NAD+-dependent oxidative decarboxylation of UDP-glucuronic acid to generate a UDP-4'-keto-pentose sugar and also catalyzes transfer of a formyl group from N-10-formyltetrahydrofolate to the 4'-amine of UDP-4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose | 698732 | - | - | ? |

 | Escherichia coli | - | the modification of lipid A with 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose allows gram-negative bacteria to resist the antimicrobial activity of cationic antimicrobial peptides and antibiotics such as polymyxin. ArnA is the first enzyme specific to the lipid A-Ara4N pathway. It contains two functionally and physically separable domains: a dehydrogenase domain (ArnA_DH) catalyzing the NAD+-dependent oxidative decarboxylation of UDP-glucuronic acid, and a transformylase domain that formylates UDP-4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose | 701248 | - | - | ? |

 | Escherichia coli | P77398 | ArnA is a bifunctional enzyme. It can catalyze the NAD+-dependent decarboxylation of UDP-glucuronic acid to UDP-4-keto-arabinose and the N-10-formyltetrahydrofolatedependent formylation of UDP-4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose. The NAD+-dependent decarboxylating activity is contained in the 360 amino acid C-terminal domain of ArnA. This domain is separable from the N-terminal fragment, and its activity is identical to that of the full-length enzyme. T432, Y463, K467, R619, and S433 are involved in the mechanism of NAD+-dependent oxidation of the 4''-OH of the UDP-glucuronic acid and decarboxylation of the UDP-4-keto-glucuronic acid intermediate | 696203 | - | - | ? |
