Function

SIDA_ASPFU Catalyzes the conversion of L-ornithine to N(5)-hydroxyornithine, the first step in the biosynthesis of all hydroxamate-containing siderophores, such as the secreted triacetylfusarinine C (TAFC) involved in iron uptake and the intracellular iron storage compound desferriferricrocin (DFFC). Highly specific for its substrate, only hydrolyzing l-ornithine. Has preference for NADPH over NADH, NADPH playing a role in stabilization of the C4a-hydroperoxyflavin intermediate. Essential for virulence.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
