PubMed Abstract: Staphyloferrin B (SB) is an iron-chelating siderophore produced by in invasive infections. Proteins for SB biosynthesis and export are encoded by the gene cluster, in which SbnI, a member of the ParB/Srx superfamily, acts as a heme-dependent transcriptional regulator of the locus. However, no structural or functional information about SbnI is available. Here, a crystal structure of SbnI revealed striking structural similarity to an ADP-dependent free serine kinase, SerK, from the archaea We found that features of the active sites are conserved, and biochemical assays and P NMR and HPLC analyses indicated that SbnI is also a free serine kinase but uses ATP rather than ADP as phosphate donor to generate the SB precursor -phospho-l-serine (OPS). SbnI consists of two domains, and elevated -factors in domain II were consistent with the open-close reaction mechanism previously reported for SerK. Mutagenesis of Glu and Asp in SbnI disclosed that they are required for kinase activity. The only known OPS source in bacteria is through the phosphoserine aminotransferase activity of SerC within the serine biosynthesis pathway, and we demonstrate that an mutant is a serine auxotroph, consistent with a function in l-serine biosynthesis. However, the mutant strain could produce SB when provided l-serine, suggesting that SbnI produces OPS for SB biosynthesis These findings indicate that besides transcriptionally regulating the locus, SbnI also has an enzymatic role in the SB biosynthetic pathway.
