Biochemical and Kinetic Characterization of the Eukaryotic Phosphotransacetylase Class IIa Enzyme from Phytophthora ramorum.

Abstract excerpt

Phosphotransacetylase (Pta), a key enzyme in bacterial metabolism, catalyzes the reversible transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl phosphate to coenzyme A (CoA) to produce acetyl-CoA and Pi. Two classes of Pta have been identified based on the absence (Pta(I)) or presence (Pta(II)) of an N-terminal regulatory domain. Pta(I) has been fairly well studied in bacteria and one genus of archaea; however, only the...
