CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE 4'-PHOSPHOPANTETHEINYL TRANSFERASE SFP-COENZYME A COMPLEX
Overview
The Bacillus subtilis Sfp protein activates the peptidyl carrier protein, (PCP) domains of surfactin synthetase by transferring the, 4'-phosphopantetheinyl moiety of coenzyme A (CoA) to a serine residue, conserved in all PCPs. Its wide PCP substrate spectrum renders Sfp a, biotechnologically valuable enzyme for use in combinatorial non-ribosomal, peptide synthesis. The structure of the Sfp-CoA complex determined at 1.8, A resolution reveals a novel alpha/beta-fold exhibiting an unexpected, intramolecular 2-fold pseudosymmetry. This suggests a similar fold and, dimerization mode for the homodimeric phosphopantetheinyl transferases, such as acyl carrier protein synthase. The active site of Sfp accommodates, a magnesium ion, which is complexed by the CoA pyrophosphate, the side, chains of three acidic amino acids and one water molecule. CoA is bound in, a fashion that differs in many aspects from all known CoA-protein complex, structures. The structure reveals regions likely to be involved in the, interaction with the PCP substrate.
