| UniProt functional annotation for P9WFX1 | |||
| UniProt code: P9WFX1. |
| Organism: | Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Corynebacteriales; Mycobacteriaceae; Mycobacterium; Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. | |
| Function: | Involved in the incorporation of salicylate into the virulence-conferring salicylate-based siderophore mycobactin. Catalyzes the initial conversion of chorismate to yield the intermediate isochorismate (isochorismate synthase activity), and the subsequent elimination of the enolpyruvyl side chain to give salicylate (isochorismate pyruvate-lyase activity). In the absence of magnesium, MbtI displays a chorismate mutase activity and converts chorismate to prephenate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16923875, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17240979, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20487026, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20512795, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9831524}. | |
