Abstract excerpt
Phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase (PPAT), a key enzyme in the universal Coenzyme A biosynthetic pathway, is essential for cellular metabolism. However, the adaptive mechanisms of PPAT in psychrophilic (cold-adapted) organisms remain poorly understood. Here, we characterize PPAT from the psychrophilic methanotroph Methylocapsa palsarum (MpaPPAT). Sequence analysis identified a unique five-amino-acid insertion...
