Popis: Bacterial phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase (PPAT) catalyzes the pen­ultimate step in the coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthetic pathway. It catalyzes the reversible transfer of an adenylyl group from ATP to 4′-phosphopantetheine (Ppant) to form dephospho-CoA (dPCoA) and pyrophosphate. Previous structural studies have revealed how several ligands are recognized by bacterial PPATs. ATP, ADP, Ppant and dPCoA bind to the same binding site in a highly similar manner, while CoA binds to a partially overlapping site in a different mode. To provide further structural insights into ligand binding, the crystal structure of Staphylococcus aureus PPAT was solved in a binary complex with 3′-­phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulfate (PAPS). This study unexpectedly revealed a new mode of ligand binding to PPAT, thus providing potentially useful information for structure-based discovery of inhibitors of bacterial PPATs.
