Enterobactin is a high-affinity iron chelator produced and secreted by Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium to scavenge scarce extracellular Fe3+ as a micronutrient. EntC and EntB are the first two enzymes in the enterobactin biosynthetic pathway. Isochorismate, produced by EntC, is a substrate for EntB isochorismatase. By using a competing isochor ...

Siderophores are high-affinity small-molecule chelators employed by bacteria to acquire iron from the extracellular environment. The Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli synthesizes and secretes enterobactin, a tris-catechol siderophore. Enterobactin is synthesized by six cytoplasmic enzyme activities: EntC, EntB (isochorismatase (IC) domain), EntA, E ...

A stress induced calcium-binding protein, RD20/CLO3 interacts with the alpha subunit of the heterotrimeric G-protein complex in Arabidopsis and affects etiolation and leaf morphology. Heterotrimeric G proteins and calcium signaling have both been shown to play a role in the response to environmen ...

Background: Predicting physical interaction between proteins is one of the greatest challenges in computational biology. There are considerable various protein interactions and a huge number of protein sequences and synthetic peptides with unknown interacting counterparts. Most of co-evolutionary methods discover a combination of physical interplays and f ...
