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 |
