<scene name='69/694235/3log/12'>Salicylate synthase</scene> from '' | <scene name='69/694235/3log/12'>Salicylate synthase</scene> from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/''Mycobacterium_tuberculosis''] (MtbI) is a highly promiscuous enzyme that has four distinct activities ''in vivo'': [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isochorismate_synthase isochorismate synthase] (IS), [http://www.proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Isochorismate_pyruvate_lyase isochorismate pyruvate lyase] (IPL), [http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/results/results.do?outformat=&qrid=8A8773E9&tabtoshow=Current salicylate synthase] (SS) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorismate_mutase chorismate mutate] (CM)(Ferrer 2012). MtbI belongs to the chorismate-utilising enzyme family, which consists of structural homologues (<scene name='69/694235/Irp9/5'>Ipr9</scene>, <scene name='69/694235/Menf/3'>MenF</scene>, <scene name='69/694235/Entc/3'>EntC</scene>, and <scene name='69/694235/Mbti/3'>MbtI</scene>) that isomerize chromate to isochorismate(Ferrer 2012, Lamb 2011). These enzymes are present in bacteria, fungi, plants and apicomplexan parasites and catalyze the initial reactions of menaquinone, siderophore, and tryptophan biosynthesis(ferrer 2012, Lamb 2011, Voss 1999). The IS, IPL, and SS activity of MbtI require the presence of a magnesium ion within the active site, while CM activity is only observed in absence of the magnesium cation(ferrer 2012). IS, IPL, and SS activity are also modulated by the pH of the medium(ferrer 2012). Isochorismate is the primary product at pH values below 7.5 and salicylate is the primary product formed at pH 8(ferrer 2012). | ||
The salicylate synthase activity of MbtI catalyzes the first committed step in the synthesis of the iron chelating [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siderophore siderophore], mycobactin, in ''Mycobacterium tuberculosis'' (Figure | The salicylate synthase activity of MbtI catalyzes the first committed step in the synthesis of the iron chelating [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siderophore siderophore], mycobactin T, in ''Mycobacterium tuberculosis'' (Figure 1)<ref name= "5a">PMID:22607697</ref>. This complex secondary metabolite is essential for both virulence and survival of ''M. tuberculosis''(ferrer 2012, Voss 1999, Harrison 2006). Therefore, inhibitors of salicylate synthase may serve as potential TB therapies with a novel mode of action <ref name= "1a"> DOI: 10.1002/cmdc/201000137</ref> <ref name= "2a">PMID:23108268</ref> <ref name= "7a">Voss, James J., Kerry Rutter, Benjamin G.
