Structure and biosynthesis of staphyloxanthin from Staphylococcus aureus.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 16 Sept 2005

Pelz Alexandra, Wieland Karsten-Peter, Putzbach Karsten, Hentschel Petra, Albert Klaus, Götz Friedrich

Abstract excerpt

Most Staphylococcus aureus strains produce the orange carotenoid staphyloxanthin. The staphyloxanthin biosynthesis genes are organized in an operon, crtOPQMN, with a sigma(B)-dependent promoter upstream of crtO and a termination region downstream of crtN. The functions of the five encoded enzymes were predicted on the basis of their sequence similarity to known enzymes and by product analysis of gene deletion...
