Abstract excerpt
The salicylate synthase, Irp9, from Yersinia enterocolitica is involved in the biosynthesis of the siderophore yersiniabactin. It is a bifunctional enzyme that forms salicylate and pyruvate from chorismate and water via the intermediate isochorismate. Here we report the first crystal structure of Irp9 and also of its complex with the reaction products salicylate and pyruvate at 1.85 A and 2.1 A resolution,...
