Abstract excerpt
PvdD, a nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, incorporates two L-threonines into the siderophore pyoverdine. A pvdD mutant did not synthesize pyoverdine and lacked a high Mr iron-regulated cytoplasmic protein (IRCP). Analysis of other IRCPs and the P. aeruginosa genome enabled the remaining pyoverdine NRPSs to be identified. The pvdD mutation could be complemented in trans,...
