General Information
Term beta-L-Ara4N-lipid A biosynthetic process ID (Ontology) GO:1901760 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of beta-L-Ara4N-lipid A which occurs as a result of modification of the lipid A moiety of lipopolysaccharide by the addition of the sugar 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose (L-Ara4N). This strategy is adopted by pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria to evade cationic antimicrobial peptides produced by the innate immune system.[ PubMed:17928292 PubMed:19166326 ]
Also Known As "4-amino-4-deoxy-beta-L-arabinose-lipid A biosynthesis" ; "4-amino-4-deoxy-beta-L-arabinose-lipid A biosynthetic process" ; "beta-L-Ara4N-lipid A anabolism" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
