ID   6.3.2.27
DE   Aerobactin synthase.
CA   4 ATP + citrate + 2 N(6)-acetyl-N(6)-hydroxy-L-lysine + 2 H(2)O = 4 ADP +
CA   4 phosphate + aerobactin.
CF   Magnesium.
CC   -!- Aerobactin is one of a group of high-affinity iron chelators known as
CC       siderophores and is produced under conditions of iron deprivation.
CC   -!- It is a dihydroxamate comprising two molecules of N(6)-acetyl-
CC       N(6)-hydroxylysine and one molecule of citric acid.
CC   -!- This is the last of the three enzymes involved in its synthesis,
CC       the others being EC 1.14.13.59 and EC 2.3.1.102.
