Glossary: staphyloferrin B = 5-[(2-{[(3S)-5-{[(2S)-2-amino-2-carboxyethyl]amino}-3-carboxy-3-hydroxy-5-oxopentanoyl]amino}ethyl)amino]-2,5-dioxopentanoate
Other name(s): sbnC (gene name)
Systematic name: 2-[(L-alanin-3-ylcarbamoyl)methyl]-3-(2-aminoethylcarbamoyl)-2-hydroxypropanoate:2-oxoglutarate ligase (staphyloferrin B-forming)
Comments: Requires Mg2+. The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, catalyses the last step in the biosynthesis of the siderophore staphyloferrin B. It belongs to a class of siderophore synthases known as type B nonribosomal peptide synthase-independent synthases (NIS). Type B NIS enzymes recognize the δ-acid group of 2-oxoglutarate. The enzyme forms a 2-oxoglutarate adenylate intermediate prior to ligation.
