Abstract excerpt
In bacteria, coenzyme A is synthesized in five steps from pantothenate. The flavoprotein Dfp catalyzes the synthesis of the coenzyme A precursor 4'-phosphopantetheine in the presence of 4'-phosphopantothenate, cysteine, CTP, and Mg(2+) (Strauss, E., Kinsland, C., Ge, Y., McLafferty, F. W., and Begley, T. P. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 13513-13516). It has been shown that the NH(2)-terminal domain of Dfp has...
