EC 3.2.1.144

Accepted name: 3-deoxyoctulosonase

Reaction: 3-deoxyoctulosonyl-lipopolysaccharide + H2O = 3-deoxyoctulosonic acid + lipopolysaccharide

Other name(s): α-Kdo-ase

Systematic name: 3-deoxyoctulosonyl-lipopolysaccharide hydrolase

Comments: Releases Kdo (α- and β-linked 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid) from different lipopolysaccharides, including Re-LPS from Escherichia coli and Salmonella, Rd-LPS from S. minnesota, and de-O-acyl-re-LPS. 4-Methylumbelliferyl-α-Kdo (α-Kdo-OMec) is also a substrate.
