Popis: The bifunctional enzyme CoaBC catalyses the second and third step in the Coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthesis pathway and is of interest as a M. tuberculosis drug target. Here, the authors present the full-length crystal structure of Mycobacterium smegmatis CoaBC, which is regulated by CoA and CoA thioesters and forms a dodecamer and by performing a high-throughput screen they identify selective inhibitors of M. tuberculosis CoaB that bind to an allosteric site within CoaB.
