General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of staphyloferrin B, which is required when cells are starved for iron. Mutation of the SbnE gene eliminates the ability to produce staphyloferrin B under iron-limited growth conditions. SbnE mutants display a drastic growth deficiency, compared to the wild-type, in iron-restricted growth medium, whereas no such deficiency is observed during growth in iron-repleted medium. The SbnE mutant is compromised in a murine kidney abscess model of Staphylococcus aureus infection Staphylococcus aureus
