Pyoverdine I (PVDI) is the major siderophore produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa to import iron. Biosynthesis of this chelator involves non-ribosomal peptide synthetases and other enzymes. PvdQ is a periplasmic enzyme from the NTN hydrolase family and is involved in the final steps of PVDI biosynthesis. A pvdQ mutant produces two non-fluorescent PVDI precursors with a higher molecular mass than PVDI. In the present study, we describe the use of mass spectrometry to determine the structure of these PVDI precursors and show that they both contain a unformed chromophore like ferribactin, and either a myristic or myristoleic chain that must be removed before PVDI is secreted into the extracellular medium.
