This entry represents the N-terminal domain of staphylopine dehydrogenase, a protein from Staphylococcus aureus identified as as a dehydrogenase involved in the synthesis of a new metallophore,named staphylopine. It is encoded as part of an operon that also includes an histidine racemase and an enzyme distantly related to nicotianamine synthase [1]. Staphylopine is involved in metal acquisition, chelating nickel, cobalt, zinc, copper or iron, depending on the growing conditions. Metal acquisition is vital for bacteria growing in metal-scarce environments, such as inside a host in the case of pathogens.
