Aerobactin synthase
In enzymology, an aerobactin synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The 4 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, citrate, N6-acetyl-N6-hydroxy-L-lysine, and H2O, whereas its 3 products are ADP, phosphate, and aerobactin.
This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds as acid-D-amino-acid ligases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is citrate:N6-acetyl-N6-hydroxy-L-lysine ligase . This enzyme is also called citrate:6-N-acetyl-6-N-hydroxy-L-lysine ligase . This enzyme participates in lysine degradation.
