'''Kdo-8-phosphate synthase''' (KPS) catalyzes the formation of the phosphorylated rare sugar Kdo-8-phosphate (Kdo-8-P) from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and D-arabinose-5-phosphate (A5P). Some bacteria like ''Aquifex aeolicus'' have '''Metallo KPS''' which is a metal-requiring enzyme while others like ''E.coli'' have a '''Non-metallo KPS''' which does not require a divalent cation for its activity. Kdo-8-P is found in cell walls of higher plants and some green algae<ref>PMID:11904225</ref>. | '''Kdo-8-phosphate synthase''' (KPS) catalyzes the formation of the phosphorylated rare sugar Kdo-8-phosphate (Kdo-8-P) from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and D-arabinose-5-phosphate (A5P).
