Characterization of EntF as a serine-activating enzyme

EntF is the enzyme responsible for serine activation during the biosynthesis of enterobactin (a cyclic trimer of N-dihydroxybenzoyl serine) in Escherichia coli. EntF has been overexpressed and purified to > 90% homogeneity. The enzyme has been shown to complement the entF(-) MK1 strain in the synthesis of 2,3-dihydroxybenzoylserine derivatives and exhibits L-serine-dependent ATP[(32)P] pyrophosphate exchange activity with a K(m) for serine of 260 mM and a turnover number of 760 min(-1). Release of PPi during incubation of EntF with serine and ATP was observed, but with a low turnover number of 1.0 min(-1). These results suggested the presence of an enzymebound intermediate, which has been shown by gel filtration analysis to be (L-serine)adenylate.
