We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase (PPAT) is an essential enzyme in the coenzyme A pathway that catalyzes the reversible transfer of an adenylyl group from ATP to 4'-phosphopantetheine (Ppant) in the presence of magnesium. To investigate the reaction mechanism, the high-resolution crystal structures of the Escherichia coli PPAT have been determined in the presence of either ATP or Ppant. Structural details of the catalytic center revealed specific roles for individual amino acid residues involved in substrate binding and catalysis. The side-chain of His18 stabilizes the expected pentacovalent intermediate, whereas the side-chains of Thr10 and Lys42 orient the nucleophile for an in-line displacement mechanism. The binding site for the manganese ion that interacts with the phosphate groups of the nucleotide has also been identified. Within the PPAT hexamer, one trimer is in its substrate-free state, whereas the other is in a substrate-bound state.
