EC 6.3.2.38 Details
EC number
6.3.2.38
Accepted name
N2-citryl-N6-acetyl-N6-hydroxylysine synthase
Reaction
2 ATP + citrate + N6-acetyl-N6-hydroxy-L-lysine + H2O = 2 ADP + 2 phosphate + N6-acetyl-N2-citryl-N6-hydroxy-L-lysine
Other name(s)
Nα-citryl-Nε-acetyl-Nε-hydroxylysine synthase, iucA (gene name)
Systematic name
citrate:N6-acetyl-N6-hydroxy-L-lysine ligase (AMP-forming)
Comment
Requires Mg2+. The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of aerobactin, a dihydroxamate siderophore. It belongs to a class of siderophore synthases known as type A nonribosomal peptide synthase-independent synthases (NIS). Type A enzymes are responsible for the formation of amide or ester bonds between polyamines or amino alcohols and a prochiral carboxyl group of citrate. The enzyme is believed to form an adenylate intermediate prior to ligation.
