Nameyersiniabactin biosynthesis
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionYersiniabactin is a siderophore found in a number of enterobacteria, including Yersinia pestis and some strains of Escherichia coli. Its biosynthesis and utilization may coexist in an organism with other siderophore systems such as enterobactin and aerobactin. Yersiniabactin is made from salicylate, three cysteines, and a malonyl group by a nonribosomal peptide synthetase/polyketide synthase.
