A biosynthetic pathway for ornithine lipid formation dependent on a GH3 (Gretchen Hagen 3)-like enzyme in planctomycetes Amino lipids with acyloxyacyl structures, particularly ornithine lipids (OLs), are widespread in bacteria, but are absent from archaea and eukaryotes.…

In this article we describe for the first time a function for a bacterial GH3-homologue in lipid synthesis. GH3 proteins are well-studied in plants where they catalyze the condensation of jasmonic acid or auxins with amino acids controlling hormone activity.
