Mass spectral determination of phosphopantetheinylation specificity for carrier proteins in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Phosphopantetheinyl transferases (PPTases) are key elements in the modular syntheses performed by multienzyme systems such as polyketide synthases. PPTases transfer phosphopantetheine derivatives from Coenzyme A to carrier proteins (CPs), thus orchestrating substrate supply. We describe an efficient...

description Phosphopantetheinyl transferases (PPTases) are key elements in the modular syntheses performed by multienzyme systems such as polyketide synthases. PPTases transfer phosphopantetheine derivatives from Coenzyme A to carrier proteins (CPs), thus orchestrating substrate supply. We describe an efficient mass spectrometry‐based protocol for determining CP specificity for a particular PPTase in organisms possessing several candidate PPTases. We show that the CPs MbtL and PpsC, both involved in synthesis of essential metabolites in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, are exclusively activated by the type 2 PPTase PptT and not the type 1 AcpS. The assay also enables conclusive identification of the reactive serine on each CP.
