Glossary: enterobactin = N-(2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-O-[N-(2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-O-[N-(2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-L-seryl]-L-seryl]-L-serine-(3→1(3))-lactone
monoglucosyl-enterobactin = N-(2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-O-[N-(2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-O-[N-(5-β-D-glucopyranosyl-2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-L-seryl]-L-seryl]-L-serine-3→1(3)-lactone = mono-C-glucosyl-enterobactin = salmochelin MGE
diglucosyl-enterobactin = N-(2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-O-[N-(5-β-D-glucopyranosyl-2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-O-[N-(5-β-D-glucopyranosyl-2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-L-seryl]-L-seryl]-L-serine-(3→1(3))-lactone = salmochelin S4 = di-C-glucosyl-enterobactin
triglucosyl-enterobactin = N-(5-β-D-glucopyranosyl-2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-O-[N-(5-β-D-glucopyranosyl-2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-O-[N-(5-β-D-glucopyranosyl-2,3-dihydroxybenzoyl)-L-seryl]-L-seryl]-L-serine-(3→1(3))-lactone = tri-C-glucosyl-enterobactin = salmochelin TGE
Other name(s): iroB (gene name)
Systematic name: UDP-α-D-glucose:enterobactin 5'-C-β-D-glucosyltransferase (configuration-inverting)
Comments: The enzyme, found in pathogenic strains of the bacteria Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica, catalyses the transfer of glucosyl groups to C-5 of one, two, or three of the 2,3-hydroxybenzoyl units of the siderophore enterobactin, forming C-glucosylated derivatives known as salmochelins.
