| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Aerobactin is one of a group of high-affinity iron chelators known as
siderophores and is produced under conditions of iron deprivation.
- It is a dihydroxamate comprising two molecules of N(6)-acetyl-
N(6)-hydroxylysine and one molecule of citric acid.
- This is the last of the three enzymes involved in its synthesis,
the others being EC 1.14.13.59 and EC 2.3.1.102.
