Abstract excerpt
The terminal reactions in the synthesis of the siderophore enterobactin (Ent) by Escherichia coli require the EntD, E, F and B/G polypeptides. The idea that these molecules form a complex (Ent synthase) that is membrane-associated was re-evaluated. In vitro results provided no evidence in support of the proposal: (i) Ent synthase activity occurred normally under conditions where membrane was either absent or...
