Term Name: | beta-L-Ara4N-lipid A biosynthetic process |
---|---|
Synonyms: | 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, beta-L-Ara4N-lipid A biosynthesis, beta-L-Ara4N-lipid A formation, beta-L-Ara4N-lipid A synthesis |
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. |
