DE   D-ornithine--citrate ligase.
CA   D-ornithine + citrate + ATP = N(5)-[(S)-citryl]-D-ornithine + AMP +
CA   diphosphate + H(+).
CC   -!- Requires Mg(2+).
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus,
CC       is involved in the biosynthesis of the siderophore staphyloferrin A.
CC   -!- It belongs to a class of siderophore synthases known as type A
CC       nonribosomal peptide synthase-independent synthases (NIS).
CC   -!- Type A NIS enzymes are responsible for the formation of amide or
CC       ester bonds between polyamines or amino alcohols and a prochiral
CC       carboxyl group of citrate.
CC   -!- The enzyme forms a citrate adenylate intermediate prior to ligation.
