PHOSPHOPANTETHEINE ADENYLYLTRANSFERASE IN COMPLEX WITH MN2+ ATP FROM ESCHERICHIA COLI
OverviewOverview
Phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase (PPAT) is an essential enzyme in, the coenzyme A pathway that catalyzes the reversible transfer of an, adenylyl group from ATP to 4'-phosphopantetheine (Ppant) in the presence, of magnesium. To investigate the reaction mechanism, the high-resolution, crystal structures of the Escherichia coli PPAT have been determined in, the presence of either ATP or Ppant. Structural details of the catalytic, center revealed specific roles for individual amino acid residues involved, in substrate binding and catalysis. The side-chain of His18 stabilizes the, expected pentacovalent intermediate, whereas the side-chains of Thr10 and, Lys42 orient the nucleophile for an in-line displacement mechanism. The, binding site for the manganese ion that interacts with the ... [(full description)]
