desferrioxamine E
CHEBI:50437 EXACT SEEDED antibacterialenzyme inhibitor
What these status tags mean
Curation status describes a workflow state. SEEDED means the record entered through the source-seeding workflow; it does not imply that no later curation occurred. PROPOSED marks an addition awaiting review; REVIEWED records curator sign-off on identity, structure, filing class and producer claims; DEPRECATED retains a superseded or out-of-scope record. These are workflow decisions, not independently verified human review. Agent-assisted contributions may appear in the record history.
Grounding describes the identifier mapping: EXACT uses an ontology identity asserted by the source; MINTED keeps a local identifier when no defensible ontology identity is available; REVIEW_NEEDED flags an exact structure whose ontology identity needs adjudication. The grounding note retains any unresolved alternatives. These tags do not establish the strength of producer or activity evidence.
A cyclic hydroxamic acid siderophore that is produced by several bacterial species and exhibits antitumour activity.

Filing pathway
Amino acids and peptides — computed by NPClassifier npclassifier.gnps2.org@2026-09-07, which is why it is pinned rather than recomputed. The gene cluster's asserted class is other, from MIBiG.
Producer organisms 3
A claim that this taxon makes the compound. The basis says what the evidence addressed — a knockout and a database assertion are not the same claim.

A locus claim and a taxon claim are different questions. Heterologous expression settles the first and leaves the second where the isolation report left it.

Step 4: Streptomyces coelicolor M145 DesD catalyzes ATP-dependent trimerization and macrocyclization of three N-(3-carboxypropanoyl)-N-hydroxycadaverine molecules to form desferrioxamine E. No exact Rhea reaction was available for this macrocyclization.

Causal graph — biosynthesis 5 nodes, 4 edges
Streptomyces coelicolor M145 premature-stop genetics. Five-day ISP-2 extract LC-HRMS/MS signals are assigned to free desferrioxamine E, not metal complexes or absolute concentrations. Canonical proteins denote targeted loci, not mutant sequences. No direct catalysis, complete activity loss, protein-specific independence, or quantitative complementation rescue is asserted. Gene-only traces do not distinguish alternative stop alleles.
