2.7.8.7 CoA-[4'-phosphopantetheine] + apo-[acyl-carrier protein] Streptomyces coelicolor PPTases posttranslationally modify modular and iterative synthases acting in a processive fashion, namely fatty acid synthases, polyketide synthases, and non-ribosomal peptide syntethases. The central component of these chain elongating synthases is non-catalytic and either a translationally linked domain of a larger polypeptide chain or an independently translated protein. Regardless, this protein component is referred to as a carrier protein, or alternatively a thiolation domain. The carrier protein tethers the growing intermediates on a 4'-phosphopantetheine (PPant) arm of 20 A through a reactive thioester linkage. PPants are thought of as prosthetic arms on which all substrates and intermediates of these pathways are covalently yet transiently held during the orderly progression of enzymatic modifications to the extending chain. PPTases mediate the transfer and covalent attachment of PPant arms from coenzyme A (CoA) to conserved serine residues of the carrier protein domain through phosphoester bonds.

2.7.8.7 CoA-[4'-phosphopantetheine] + apo-[acyl-carrier protein] Bacillus anthracis the enzyme activates the siderophore petrobactin. The synthase-encoding cluster contains a stand-alone PCP domain, AsbD, which is phosphopantetheinylated by a PPTase. There is no PPTase present in the gene cluster itself and it is suggested that BA2375, an EntD homologue present in the enterobactin gene cluster, serves as the PPTase that installs the 4'-phosphopantetheinyl arm on AsbD. Holo-AsbD is loaded with 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid by AsbC and this AsbD conjugate functions as the substrate for AsbE.

2.7.8.7 CoA-[4'-phosphopantetheine] + apo-[acyl-carrier protein] PPTases posttranslationally modify modular and iterative synthases acting in a processive fashion, namely fatty acid synthases, polyketide synthases, and non-ribosomal peptide syntethases. The central component of these chain elongating synthases is non-catalytic and either a translationally linked domain of a larger polypeptide chain or an independently translated protein. Regardless, this protein component is referred to as a carrier protein, or alternatively a thiolation domain. The CP tethers the growing intermediates on a 4'-phosphopantetheine (PPant) arm of 20 A through a reactive thioester linkage. PPants are thought of as prosthetic arms on which all substrates and intermediates of these pathways are covalently yet transiently held during the orderly progression of enzymatic modifications to the extending chain. PPTases mediate the transfer and covalent attachment of PPant arms from coenzyme A (CoA) to conserved serine residues of the carrier protein domain through phosphoester bonds. These essential posttranslation protein modifications convert inactive apo-synthases to active holo-synthases. The Mycobacterium tuberculosis enzyme activates mycobatin. Mycolic acid, mycobactin, polyketide-derived lipids, fatty acids, siderophores and some yet to be discovered natural products all depend on PPTase activity for biosynthesis Mycobacterium tuberculosis adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + holo-[acyl-carrier protein]

2.7.8.7 CoA-[4'-phosphopantetheine] + apo-[acyl-carrier protein] the enzyme activates the siderophore petrobactin. The synthase-encoding cluster contains a stand-alone PCP domain, AsbD, which is phosphopantetheinylated by a PPTase. There is no PPTase present in the gene cluster itself and it is suggested that BA2375, an EntD homologue present in the enterobactin gene cluster, serves as the PPTase that installs the 4'-phosphopantetheinyl arm on AsbD. Holo-AsbD is loaded with 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid by AsbC and this AsbD conjugate functions as the substrate for AsbE. AsbE, together with the stand-alone synthases AsbA and AsbB, catalyze the formation of petrobactin Bacillus anthracis adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + holo-[acyl-carrier protein]

2.7.8.7 physiological function PPTases posttranslationally modify modular and iterative synthases acting in a processive fashion, namely fatty acid synthases, polyketide synthases, and non-ribosomal peptide syntethases. The central component of these chain elongating synthases is non-catalytic and either a translationally linked domain of a larger polypeptide chain or an independently translated protein. Regardless, this protein component is referred to as a carrier protein, or alternatively a thiolation domain. The CP tethers the growing intermediates on a 4'-phosphopantetheine (PPant) arm of 20 A through a reactive thioester linkage. PPants are thought of as prosthetic arms on which all substrates and intermediates of these pathways are covalently yet transiently held during the orderly progression of enzymatic modifications to the extending chain. PPTases mediate the transfer and covalent attachment of PPant arms from coenzyme A (CoA) to conserved serine residues of the carrier protein domain through phosphoester bonds. These essential posttranslation protein modifications convert inactive apo-synthases to active holo-synthases. Mechanistically distinct classes of enzymes have been identified that require PPant arms for biosynthetic catalysis. These include enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of lipid A, D-alanyllipoteichoic acid, lipo-chitin nodulation factor, beta-alanine-dopamine conjugates, carboxylic acid reductions, and dehydrogenation of alpha-aminoadipate semialdehyde (lysine biosynthesis) and 10-formyl-tetrahydrofolate. Essential enzymatic role of PPTases in general fatty acid biosynthesis. AcpSs are primarily used for post-translational modification and activation of the carrier proteins of FASs (primary metabolism) across a diversity of organisms making them the most commonly found PPTase Escherichia coli

The PPTase ClbA can activate both siderophore and genotoxin biosynthesis Escherichia coli
2.7.8.7 physiological function some Vibrio anguillarum strains produce the siderophore vanchrobactin utilizing the NRPS VabF. VabD is the dedicated PPTase used for 4'-phosphopantetheinylation of VabF. Vibrio anguillarum strains also contain a second, more dominant, siderophore anguibactin, located on the pJM1 plasmid. Anguibactin is also synthesized by an NRPS and requires the PPTase AngD. Both VabD and AngD can complement one another, but since anguibactin is the more potent siderophore, some strains have lost the vanchrobactin biosynthesis pathway Vibrio anguillarum
2.7.8.7 physiological function Streptomyces coelicolor contains 25 biosynthetic secondary metabolite clusters that produce natural products, including actinorhodin, coelichelin, coelibactin, TW95a, EPA, methylenomycin (encoded on a giant linear plasmid), prodiginines and the antibiotic CDA. All of these natural products are produced by synthases that require phoshopantetheinylation by an AcpS-type PPTase, which shows a high level of permissiveness for CoA substrates as well as carrier proteins. For example, type I mammalian FAS, type I fungal PKS, and several type II bacterial ACPs are efficiently phosphopantetheinylated. The genome of Streptomyces coelicolor contains two other PPTases: RedU, which is a dedicated PPTase for undecylprodigiosin biosynthesis, and SCO6673 required for CDA biosynthesis. Both RedU and SCO6673 have specific carrier protein targets, whereas ScAcpS shows broad activity.

2.7.8.7 physiological function the biosyntheses of the red pigment prodigiosin and the surfactant serrawettin W1 in Serratia marcescens depend on the presence of the PPTase PswP. Serratia species appear to employ two PPTases, one to activate the PCP of PigG and one to activate the ACPs of PigH. Besides PswP, PigL also is a PPTase. Two Sfp/EntD-type PPTases are identified, encoded by genes SMA4147 and SMA2452 Serratia marcescens
2.7.8.7 physiological function the enzyme is essential. Two siderophores, pyoverdin and pyochelin, are produced by NRPSs and associated with the virulence of these bacteria. Pyoverdine biosynthesis requires phoshopantetheinylation of PvdD, PvdI and PvdJ and pyochelin biosynthesis requires activation of PchE and PchF. PaPcpS acts on FAS, PKS and NRPS acyl carrier proteins, but the PPTase is optimized for primary metabolism, since its activity drops 30-fold for ACPs or PCPs from secondary metabolism in vitro Pseudomonas aeruginosa
2.7.8.7 physiological function the enzyme PptT is the PPTase for the mycobactin synthase. Siderophores in Mycobacterium tuberculosis are peptide-based and fall into two categories, the water-soluble exochelins and the membrane-associated mycobactins. siderophore or other natural product production is regulated by the activity of the PPTase. PptT is necessary for in vitro growth of mycobacteria, but mycobacteria require enzymes in vitro that are not always required in vivo.
