Abstract
phospho-coenzyme A kinase catalyzes the final step in CoA biosynthesis, the phosphorylation of the 3'-hydroxyl group of ribose using ATP as a phosphate donor. The protein from Haemophilus influenzae was cloned and expressed, and its crystal structure determined at 2.0- resolution in complex with ATP. The protein molecule consists of three domains: the canonical nucleotide binding domain with a five-stranded parallel b-sheet, the substrate-binding a-helical domain, and the lid domain formed by a pair of a-helices. The overall topology of the protein resembles the structures of nucleotide kinases. ATP binds inthe P-loop in a manner observed in other kinases. The CoA binding site is located at the interface of all three domains. The double-pocket structure of the substrate-binding site is unusual for nucleotide kinases. Amino acid residues involved in substrate binding and catalysis have been identified. The structure analysis suggests large domain movements during the catalytic cycle.
