ChEBI Name staphyloxanthin
ChEBI ID CHEBI:71690
Definition A xanthophyll that is β-D-glucopyranose in which the hydroxy groups at positions 1 and 6 have been acylated by an all-trans-2,6,10,15,19,23-hexamethyltetracosa-2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,22-decaenoyl group and a 12-methyltetradecanoyl group, respectively. Staphyloxanthin is responsible for the characteristic yellow-golden colour which gives the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus its name.

Roles Classification
Chemical Role(s): antioxidant
A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
Biological Role(s): biological pigment
An endogenous molecular entity that results in a colour of an organism as the consequence of the selective absorption of light.
virulence factor
Any toxin secreted by bacteria, viruses, fungi or protozoa enabling them to achieve colonisation of a niche in the host, inhibit or evade the host's immune response, enter and exit cells, or obtain nutrition from the host.
metabolite
Any intermediate or product resulting from metabolism. The term 'metabolite' subsumes the classes commonly known as primary and secondary metabolites.

General Comment
2013-02-08 Note that the original assignment of an α-D-glucopyranosyl configuration made by John H. Marshall and Gregory J. Wilmoth in J. Bacteriol., 1981, 147(3), 900-913 was subsequently corrected to a β-D-glucopyranosyl configuration by Friedrich Götz et al., J. Biol. Chem., 2005, 280(37), 32493-32498.
