Gene Description

PvdJ (PA2400) is a two-module nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, encoded in the pyoverdine locus next to pvdD, and one of the NRPSs that assemble the peptide chain of the siderophore pyoverdine. Each module has condensation, adenylation and peptidyl-carrier (phosphopantetheine-binding) domains. It was identified among the iron-regulated cytoplasmic proteins of PAO1 as one of the remaining pyoverdine NRPSs after PvdD.

Summary: PseudoCAP IMP seed of the PTN002378821 secondary metabolite biosynthetic process IBD. The cited paper deleted pvdJ in Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci 6605, not in P. aeruginosa.
Reason: The claim is true for PAO1 PvdJ: it is one of the pyoverdine NRPSs identified from the PAO1 iron-regulated cytoplasmic proteins and genome, and it does part of the work by assembling part of the peptide. But the cited evidence is a mutant of a same-named gene in another organism, so IMP on the PAO1 gene is wrong; at most it is ISS, and pyoverdine NRPS genes are named by position in strain-specific loci that make different peptides, so even the orthology is loose. Seed verdict WRONG (wrong organism); recorded as a source defect.

MODIFY
Summary: True but uninformative, and based on the P. syringae pvdJ mutant (see the GO:0002049 row for the defect).
Reason: PvdJ is a two-module NRPS with adenylation, condensation and carrier domains; the specific activity is non-ribosomal peptide synthetase activity (GO:1904091), a descendant of catalytic activity.

ACCEPT
Summary: Cytosol IBD from E. coli EntF. The pyoverdine NRPSs were identified as soluble iron-regulated cytoplasmic proteins.
Reason: PvdJ has no transmembrane segment or signal peptide, and the pyoverdine NRPSs were found among cytoplasmic proteins. They may also associate with the inner membrane, but the soluble location is supported.

GO_REF:0000033
REMOVE
Summary: Propagated from E. coli EntF at PTN002378853. P. aeruginosa does not make enterobactin; PvdJ makes part of pyoverdine.
Reason: Enterobactin is an E. coli catecholate siderophore made from 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate and serine by EntF with EntE/EntB. PvdJ is a pyoverdine NRPS, the PAO1 genome has no enterobactin pathway, and PvdJ is not the PAO1 enterobactin synthetase. Product specificity of NRPS modules is lineage specific, so the EntF product does not transfer.

Summary: Propagated from E. coli EntF; PvdJ is not part of an enterobactin synthetase.

Summary: EntF's specific activity, propagated to PvdJ.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Which amino acids do the two PvdJ adenylation domains activate in PAO1, and is there a published P. aeruginosa pvdJ mutant that PseudoCAP could cite instead of the P. syringae paper?

Q: Should PAINT move the enterobactin-specific IBDs (enterobactin biosynthesis, enterobactin synthetase complex, 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate-serine ligase) at PTN002378853 below a node that excludes the pyoverdine NRPS PvdJ?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: ATP-PPi exchange assays with each purified PvdJ adenylation domain and an in-frame pvdJ deletion in PAO1, with complementation, to confirm its modules and its requirement for pyoverdine.

Type: biochemical assay
