Abstract excerpt
Pantothenate kinase catalyzes the rate-controlling step in coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthesis and is regulated by feedback inhibition by CoA. Pantothenate kinase was purified to homogeneity from Escherichia coli and was shown to exist as a homodimer. Kinetic analysis indicated the presence of two ATP binding sites that exhibited positive cooperativity with a Hill coefficient of 1.46. Site-directed mutagenesis of...
