IPR003721

Description

IPR003721 is a Pantoate-beta-alanine ligase.

<p>D-Pantothenate is synthesized via four enzymes from ketoisovalerate, which is an intermediate of branched-chain amino acid synthesis [[cite:PUB00008210]]. Pantoate-beta-alanine ligase, also know as pantothenate synthase, (PanC; [ec:6.3.2.1]) catalyzes the formation of pantothenate from pantoate and alanine in the pantothenate biosynthesis pathway [[cite:PUB00008211]].</p> <p>PanC belongs to a large superfamily of nucleotidyltransferases that includes ATP sulfurylase (ATPS), phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase (PPAT), and the amino-acyl tRNA synthetases. The enzymes of this family are structurally similar and share a dinucleotide-binding domain [[cite:PUB00079882], [cite:PUB00079800], [cite:PUB00019988], [cite:PUB00079883], [cite:PUB00079884]].</p>
