Reaction: an (R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosamine = an [acyl-carrier protein] + UDP-3-O-[(3R)-hydroxytetradecanoyl]-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosamine
Glossary: tetradecanoyl = myristoyl
Other name(s): UDP-N-acetylglucosamine acyltransferase; uridine diphosphoacetylglucosamine acyltransferase
Systematic name: (R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoyl-[acyl-carrier protein]:UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 3-O-(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)transferase
Comments: Involved with EC 2.4.1.182 (lipid-A-disaccharide synthase) and EC 2.7.1.130 (tetraacyldisaccharide 4'-kinase) in the biosynthesis of the phosphorylated glycolipid, Lipid A, in the outer membrane of Escherichia coli.
