Disease relevance of entE

 

High impact information on entE

  • These fragments were used as DNA/DNA hybridization probes to screen a wild-type gene library, yielding a recombinant cosmid (pEC7) able to complement mutations disrupting the 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid biosynthetic pathway in both Erwinia and Escherichia spp. as well as the E. coli entE mutation [3].
  • Reverse transcriptase PCR analysis of total RNA with dhb-specific primers demonstrated that dhbC, -B, and -A are transcribed as components of an operon, together with dhbE, a functional homolog of the Escherichia coli entE gene [4].
  • In addition to its transcriptional activating function, AngR also complemented a mutation in the Escherichia coli entE gene, which encodes the enterobactin biosynthetic enzyme 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate-AMP ligase [5].
  • Four closely linked open reading frames, corresponding to the coding regions of entE (carboxy-terminal 144 amino acids), entB (32,554 daltons), entA (26,249 daltons), and an unidentified gene (P15) encoding a 14,970-dalton protein, were found [6].
  • In this study, we engineered a stable insertion mutation into the chromosomal region between the enterobactin genes fepB and entE [7].
 

Biological context of entE

  • Analysis of various subclones and transposon insertion mutations confirmed the previously suggested gene order as entEBG(AC) and provided evidence to suggest that these genes are organized as three independent transcriptional units, composed of entE, entBG, and entAC, with the entBG mRNA transcribed in a clockwise direction [8].
  • In this work, an entE homologue, angE, was identified on pEIB1 (a pJM1-like plasmid) from virulent V. anguillarum serotype O1 strain MVM425 [2].
  • Nucleotide sequence of the Escherichia coli entE gene [9].
 

Associations of entE with chemical compounds

  • The E and F components were shown to catalyze ATP-pyrophosphate exchange reactions dependent on 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate and L-serine, respectively, whereas fractionated extracts of the entE and entF mutant strains lacked these reactions [1].
