Abstract
EntF is the enzyme responsible for serine activation during the biosynthesis of enterobactin (a cyclic trimer of N‐dihydroxybenzoyl serine) in Escherichia coli. EntF has been overexpressed and purified to >90% homogeneity. The enzyme has been shown to complement the entF− MK1 strain in the synthesis of 2,3‐dihydroxybenzoylserine derivatives and exhibits l‐serine‐dependent ATP[32P] pyrophosphate exchange activity with a Km for serine of 260 mM and a turnover number of 760 min−1. Release of PPi during incubation of EntF with serine and ATP was observed, but with a low turnover number of 1.0 min−1. These results suggested the presence of an enzyme‐bound intermediate, which has been shown by gel filtration analysis to be (l‐serine)adenylate.Keywords
