The penultimate step of prokaryotic coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthesis is directed by the essential enzyme phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase (PPAT; EC 2.7.7.3), an attractive target for antibiotics. The reaction catalyzed by PPAT is rate-limiting and involves the transfer of an adenylyl group from ATP to 4'-phosphopantetheine to form 3'-dephospho-CoA. Rhombohedral crystals of PPAT from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Rv2965c) were obtained. The crystals belong to space group R32, with unit-cell parameters a = 68.69 A, alpha = 91.81 degrees. The crystals diffract to better than 2 A resolution on a Cu Kalpha rotating-anode generator. The packing density for one polypeptide chain in the asymmetric unit is 2.89 A(3) Da(-1), with a solvent content of 0.57.
原核生物辅酶A(CoA)生物合成的倒数第二步由必需酶磷酸泛酰巯基乙胺腺苷酰转移酶(PPAT;EC 2.7.7.3)指导,该酶是抗生素的一个有吸引力的靶点。PPAT催化的反应是限速反应,涉及将腺苷酰基从ATP转移到4'-磷酸泛酰巯基乙胺以形成3'-脱磷酸-CoA。获得了来自结核分枝杆菌(Rv2965c)的PPAT的菱形晶体。这些晶体属于空间群R32,晶胞参数a = 68.69 Å,α = 91.81°。在铜Kα旋转阳极发生器上,这些晶体的衍射分辨率优于2 Å。不对称单元中一条多肽链的堆积密度为2.89 ų Da⁻¹,溶剂含量为0.57。
