Structure of E. coli ketopantoate hydroxymethyl transferase complexed with ketopantoate and Mg2+, solved by locating 160 selenomethionine sites.

We report the crystal structure of E. coli ketopantoate hydroxymethyltransferase (KPHMT) at 1.9 A resolution, in complex with its product, ketopantoate. KPHMT catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of pantothenate (vitamin B(5)), the precursor of coenzyme A and the acyl carrier protein cofacto...
