<p> Members of this protein family are salicylate synthases, bifunctional enzymes that make salicylate, in two steps, from chorismate. Members are homologous to anthranilate synthase component I from Trp biosynthesis. Members typically are found in gene regions associated with siderophore or other secondary metabolite biosynthesis [<cite idref="PUB00040743"/>, <cite idref="PUB00045469"/>]. </p> Salicylate synthase
