Function
MBTI_MYCTU Mediates the production of salicylate from chorismate via an isochorismate intermediate. Presents both isochorismate synthase and isochorismate-pyruvate lyase activities. Salycilate is the starter unit in the production of the virulence-conferring salicylate-based siderophore mycobactin.[1]
