Reaction: ATP + salicylate + holo-[non-ribosomal peptide synthase] = AMP + diphosphate + salicyl-[non-ribosomal peptide synthase] (overall reaction)
(1a) ATP + salicylate = diphosphate + (salicyl)adenylate
(1b) (salicyl)adenylate + holo-[non-ribosomal peptide synthase] = AMP + salicyl-[non-ribosomal peptide synthase]
Other name(s): pmsE (gene name); pchD (gene name)
Systematic name: salicylate:holo-[non-ribosomal peptide synthase] ligase
Comments: The enzyme catalyses the activation of salicylate to (salicyl)adenylate, followed by the transfer of the activated compound to the free thiol of a phosphopantetheine arm of an aryl-carrier protein, which is often a domain of a larger non-ribosimal peptide synthase. The PmsE enzyme is involved in pseudomonine biosynthesis and transfers the activated salicylate first to itself, and then to a PmsG protein. The PchD enzyme is involved in pyochelin biosynthesis and transfers the activated salicylate directly to the PchE protein.
