Type: | Family | Name: | Thiazolinyl imide reductase |
Description: | This reductase is found associated with gene clusters for the biosynthesis of various non-ribosomal peptide derived natural products in which cysteine is cyclised to a thiazoline ring containing an imide double bond. Examples include yersiniabactin and pyochelin. Yersiniabactin is a virulence factor secreted by Yersinia pestisin iron-deficient microenvironments, in order to scavenge ferric ions []. | Short Name: | Thiazolinyl_imide_reductase |
