Nameenterobactin (enterochelin) biosynthesis
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionEnterobactin, also called enterochelin, is a catecholate siderophore found in most enterobacterial strains, where it may exist alongside other siderophore systems. It is a a cyclic trimeric lactone of N-(2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)serine. The proteins EntA, EntB, and EntC produce 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate. Enterobactin synthetase is a non-ribosomal peptide synthase (NRPS) that builds enterobactin from three molecules of 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate and three of L-serine. The components of the enterobactin synthetase are designated EntB, EntE, and EntF. EntD is an accessory protein that phosphopantetheinylates EntB (PMID:9214294). EntH is a proofreading enzyme, a thioesterase, while EntS is a specific exporter across the plasma membrane.
