Crystal Structure of Ketopantoate Hydroxymethyltransferase complexed the Product Ketopantoate

Overview

We report the crystal structure of E. coli ketopantoate, hydroxymethyltransferase (KPHMT) at 1.9 A resolution, in complex with its, product, ketopantoate. KPHMT catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis, of pantothenate (vitamin B(5)), the precursor of coenzyme A and the acyl, carrier protein cofactor. The structure of the decameric enzyme was solved, by multiwavelength anomalous dispersion to locate 160 selenomethionine, sites and phase 560 kDa of protein, making it the largest structure solved, by this approach. KPHMT adopts the (betaalpha)(8) barrel fold and is a, member of the phosphoenolpyruvate/pyruvate superfamily. The active site, contains a ketopantoate bidentately coordinated to Mg(2+). Similar binding, is likely for the substrate, alpha-ketoisovalerate, orienting the C3 for, deprotonation.
