Requires Mg2+. The enzyme, characterized from the bacteria Shewanella spp. MR-4 and MR-7, catalyse the last step in the biosynthesis of the siderophore putrebactin. The enzyme catalyses the reaction in two steps - concatenation of two molecules of N1-hydroxy-N1-succinylputrescine, followed by cyclization.
