Common Nameyersinopine
Descriptionyersinopine is a metallophore belonging to the opine chemical class, primarily synthesized by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. Its chemical structure is characterized by a unique arrangement of functional groups that facilitate metal ion binding, crucial for its role in iron acquisition. Yersinopine shares structural similarities with other opines such as staphylopine and pseudopaline, which are produced by Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively (PMID:37106798 ). The biosynthesis of yersinopine involves opine dehydrogenases (ODHs), which catalyze the final enzymatic step in the formation of this metallophore (PMID:29618515 ). Additionally, yersinopine is implicated in the synthesis of ririwpeptides and is part of a broader network of metallophore production in pathogenic bacteria (PMID:37967102 ). This compound plays a significant role in the iron acquisition pathways of Yersinia pestis, enhancing its virulence and survival in host environments (PMID:33084706 ). Overall, yersinopine exemplifies the intricate biochemical strategies employed by bacteria to thrive in iron-limited conditions.
