NameLpt lipopolysaccharide export transenvelope protein complex
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionLipopolysaccharide transport(Lpt) as it occurs in E. coli requires a complex with seven essential genes. LptBCFG spans the inner membrane, with LptBFG being an ABC transporter. LptA is periplasmic, and LptDE is in the outer membrane.
JCVI RoleBiosynthesis and degradation of surface polysaccharides and lipopolysaccharides
