Metabolite Identification
Common NamePaerucumarin
DescriptionPaerucumarin is a novel isonitrile functionalized coumarin belonging to the class of secondary metabolites. It is synthesized by the pvcABCD operon in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, where the gene pvcA catalyzes the production of isonitrile functionalized tyrosine (IFT), which is then converted to mature paerucumarin by the actions of pvcB, pvcC, and pvcD (PMID:30528249 ). As an iron-binding molecule, paerucumarin plays a significant role in modulating biofilm formation and is involved in the expression of various genes, including mexT and mexEF-oprN, which confer resistance to antibiotics such as chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin (PMID:32941967 ). Additionally, exogenous addition of paerucumarin enhances pyoverdine production and the expression of pvdS in P. aeruginosa (PMID:27480638 ). This metabolite is not localized to extracellular membrane vesicles and has been shown to influence the fimbrial chaperone/usher pathway genes, indicating its potential involvement in bacterial pathogenesis, although further investigation is required to elucidate its direct functions (PMID:27480638 ). Overall, paerucumarin represents a critical component in the complex biochemical pathways of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
