Common Name3-Deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate
Description3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate is a member of the chemical class known as Octoses. These are monosaccahride compounds in which the sugar moiety is an octose (8 carbon atoms). 3-Deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (KDO) is an eight-carbon sugar ubiquitous in Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). (PMID 20801884 ) The enzyme 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (KDO) transferase is encoded by the kdtA gene of Escherichia coli and plays a key role in lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis.(PMID 1577828 ) KDO is an essential component of the lipopolysaccharide envelope in Gram-negative bacteria. (PMID 19726684 ) KDO8P is the phosphorylated precursor of 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate, an essential sugar of the lipopolysaccharide of Gram-negative bacteria. (PMID 10734095 )
