Abstract excerpt
The NADPH-dependent reduction of ketopantoate to pantoate, catalyzed by ketopantoate reductase (KPR; EC 1.1.1.169), is essential for the biosynthesis of pantothenate (vitamin B(5)). Here we present the crystal structure of Escherichia coli KPR with NADP(+) bound, solved to 2.1 A resolution. The cofactor is bound in the active site cleft between the N-terminal Rossmann-fold domain and the C-terminal alpha-helical...
