Function

Modulates cellular lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels by regulating LpxC, which is involved in lipid A biosynthesis. Regulates the proteolytic activity of FtsH towards LpxC by acting as an adapter protein which interacts with FtsH via its transmembrane helices while its cytoplasmic domain recruits LpxC for degradation by FtsH. May also coordinate assembly of proteins involved in LPS synthesis at the plasma membrane.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Cell inner membrane (Single-pass membrane protein)

Product Specifications

Subcellular Location

Cell inner membrane (Single-pass membrane protein)

Subunit

Forms a heterotetramer with PbgA/YjeM consisting of 2 molecules of LapB and 2 molecules of PbgA; the complex dissociates when excess lipopolysaccharide (LPS) accumulates in the inner membrane due to overlapping binding sites for LPS and LapB on PbgA (PubMed:32430473, PubMed:32788728, PubMed:33260377, PubMed:35931690). Interacts with FtsH; the interaction promotes FtsH-mediated proteolysis of LpxC (PubMed:35931690)
