drug development | enzyme MbtI represents an appealing target for development of inhibitors of mycobactin biosynthesis since it is structurally and biochemically characterized, has no human orthologues, and is conditionally essential under iron-deficient conditions. Inhibitors are designed against the isochorismatase activity of the enzyme (EC 5.4.4.2) | Mycobacterium tuberculosis |

isochorismate = salicylate + pyruvate | overall reaction, salicylate sythase converts chorismate into salicylate via an isochorismate intermediate. In the second reaction, pyruvate is eliminated through an intramolecular [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement, formerly a retro-Ene reaction, to afford salicylic acid via bicyclic transition state TS2 | Mycobacterium tuberculosis |

physiological function | mycobactins are small-molecule iron chelators (siderophores) produced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) for iron mobilization. Siderophores are small-molecule iron chelators that scavenge iron from host tissues and uptake of heme through a specialized heme receptor followed by heme degradation to release the iron. The bifunctional salicylate synthase MbtI catalyzes the first step of mycobactin biosynthesis through the conversion of the primary metabolite chorismate into salicylic acid via isochorismate | Mycobacterium tuberculosis |
