 §2§ Abstract §2§

   Pantothenate kinase (PanK) is a key regulatory enzyme in the coenzyme A
   (CoA) biosynthetic pathway and catalyzes the phosphorylation of
   pantothenic acid to form phosphopantothenate. CoA is a feedback
   inhibitor of PanK activity by competitive binding to the ATP site. The
   structures of the Escherichia coli enzyme, in complex with a
   nonhydrolyzable analogue of ATP, 5′-adenylimido-diphosphate (AMPPNP),
   or with CoA, were determined at 2.6 and 2.5 Å, respectively. Both
   structures show that two dimers occupy an asymmetric unit; each subunit
   has a α/β mononucleotide-binding fold with an extensive antiparallel
   coiled coil formed by two long helices along the dimerization
   interface. The two ligands, AMPPNP and CoA, associate with PanK in very
   different ways, but their phosphate binding sites overlap, explaining
   the kinetic competition between CoA and ATP. Residues Asp^127, His^177,
   and Arg^243 are proposed to be involved in catalysis, based on modeling
   of the pentacoordinate transition state. The more potent inhibition by
   CoA, compared with the CoA thioesters, is explained by a tight
   interaction of the CoA thiol group with the side chains of aromatic
   residues, which is predicted to discriminate against the CoA
   thioesters. The PanK structure provides the framework for a more
   detailed understanding of the mechanism of catalysis and feedback
   regulation of PanK.

   CoA is the predominant acyl group carrier in biology and participates
   in a wide variety of biochemical reactions including pyruvate
   dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, and the
   synthesis and β-oxidation of fatty acids. The universal CoA
   biosynthetic pathway consists of five enzymatic steps ([32]1,[33]2).
   The first step produces 4′-phosphopantothenic acid by phosphorylation
   of pantothenic acid. The subsequent formation of 4′-phosphopantetheine
   is a two-step process in which 4′-phosphopantothenate and cysteine are
   converted to 4′-phosphopantothenoyl-cysteine by formation of a peptide
   linkage followed by decarboxylation of the cysteine. In the final two
   steps, 4′-phosphopantetheine is adenylated to form dephospho-CoA, which
   in turn is phosphorylated at the 3′ position of ribose to form CoA.

   The first step of CoA biosynthesis catalyzed by pantothenate kinase
   (PanK)^1 is a key regulatory point in CoA biosynthesis ([34]3-9).
   Escherichia coli PanK (bPanK) is a homodimer of 36-kDa subunits, and
   the amino acid sequence contains an A-type ATP-binding consensus
   sequence, GXXXXGKS ([35]10, [36]11). bPanK exhibits highly positive
   cooperative ATP binding and mediates a sequential ordered mechanism
   with ATP as the leading substrate ([37]11). PanK activity is inhibited
   by nonesterified CoA and to a lesser extent by its thioesters, which
   competitively interfere with ATP binding ([38]4, [39]12). A detailed
   mechanism of PanK inhibition by CoA is not known at the molecular
   level. Interestingly, nonesterified CoA is the most potent inhibitor of
   theE. coli enzyme ([40]4), whereas acetyl-CoA is a more effective
   inhibitor of eukaryotic enzymes ([41]8, [42]9, [43]12).

   Eukaryotic PanK cDNAs have recently been cloned, one fromAspergillus
   ([44]12) and two from mouse ([45]13). ADrosophila PanK has been
   identified as encoded by thefumble gene and may play a role in cell
   division (GenBank^TM accession number [46]AF221546). Comparison of the
   protein sequences predicted from these cDNAs with the bPanK amino acid
   sequence points out strong dissimilarity between prokaryotic and
   eukaryotic PanKs, although significant homology is found among the PanK
   sequences within each class ([47]12). This observation suggests that
   targeting the bacterial enzyme would be an effective therapeutic
   strategy for development of new anti-infective agents. We investigated
   the molecular basis for bPanK catalysis and regulation by determining
   the structures of binary complexes of bPanK and AMPPNP, a
   nonhydrolyzable analogue of ATP, and CoA.

 §2§ EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES §2§

 §5§ Protein Preparation §5§

   The CoaA gene encoding bPanK ([50]10) was subcloned into pET21a
   ([51]Novagen, Inc.) and transformed intoE. coli B834(DE3)pLysS
   ([52]Novagen, Inc.). The E. coli cells harboring the pET21-bPanK
   plasmid were grown in 4 liters of M9 minimal medium (6 g/liter
   Na[2]HPO[4], 3 g/liter KH[2] PO[4], 0.5 g/liter NaCl, and 1 g/liter
   NH[4] Cl) containing 0.4% glucose, 1 mm MgSO[4], 0.1 mmCaCl[2], 0.0005%
   thiamine, amino acid mixture (0.5 g/liter of each amino acid), 50 μg/ml
   of ampicillin, 34 μg/ml of chloramphenicol, and 0.1 g/liter of
   methionine at 37 °C. When the culture reached an absorbance of 0.7–0.8
   at 600 nm, the cells were harvested and washed with the M9 minimal
   medium twice. The cells were resuspended in the M9 minimal medium
   containing 40 mg/l of seleno-l -methionine (Sigma). After induction
   with 0.4 mmisopropyl-1-thio-β-d-galactopyranoside, the cells were
   allowed to grow for another 3 h to be harvested. The harvested cell
   pellet was resuspended in 400 ml of disruption buffer (20 mm Tris-HCl,
   pH 8.0, 1 mm dithiothreitol, 1 mm EDTA, and 1 mm phenylmethylsufonyl
   fluoride) and lysed with sonication. The cell lysate was centrifuged at
   14,000 × g for 30 min. The supernatant was purified by Q-Sepharose
   anion exchange chromatography in which bPanK was eluted with an
   increasing NaCl gradient. Eluted factions containing bPanK were pooled
   and concentrated. The concentrated sample was then purified with a
   S-200 Superdex gel filtration column for the fast protein liquid
   chromatography system (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). The elution buffer
   was 20 mm Tris-HCl, pH 7.6, 200 mm NaCl, 1 mm dithiothreitol, and 1 mm
   EDTA, and the flow rate was 60 ml/h. Fractions containing bPanK were
   pooled and dialyzed at 4 °C for 15 h against dialysis buffer (20
   mmTris-HCl, pH 8.0, 1 mm dithiothreitol, and 1 mmEDTA). The dialyzed
   sample was concentrated to 20 mg/ml for crystallization trials.

 §5§ Crystallization §5§

   Co-crystals of selenomethionine bPanK and AMPPNP were grown by the
   hanging drop vapor diffusion method. Before crystallization, AMPPNP was
   added to the protein to a final concentration of 2 mm, and the mixture
   was incubated overnight at 4 °C. The hanging drops containing the equal
   volume of the protein and the reservoir solution were equilibrated at
   4 °C against the reservoir solution (11% polyethylene glycol 8,000 and
   0.1m HEPES, pH 7.5). The trigonal crystals appeared after several days,
   which grew further for about 1 more week. These crystals were
   transferred to a cryoprotectant solution containing 40% glycerol, 15%
   polyethylene glycol 8,000, 2 mm dithiothreitol, 0.5 mm AMPPNP, 2.5 mm
   MgCl[2], and 0.1m HEPES at pH 7.5 for cryo-data collection.

   Crystals of bPanK in complex with CoA were grown at room temperature by
   the hanging drop vapor diffusion method. To achieve the full occupancy
   of bound CoA, bPanK was mixed with CoA at the final concentration of 2
   mm, and the mixture was incubated for 24 h at 4 °C. Equal volumes of
   protein solution and reservoir solution were combined. The reservoir
   solution consisted of 10% polyethylene glycol 4,000, 50 mm Li[2]SO[4,]
   2% isopropanol, and 0.1m N-[2-acetamido]-2-iminodiacetic acid at pH
   6.5. Rod-like crystals appeared after 1 week and grew for another 2–3
   weeks. These crystals were frozen using a cryoprotectant solution
   containing 40% glycerol, 12% polyethylene glycol 4,000, 2.5 mm
   dithiothreitol, 0.1 mm CoA, 2 mmMgCl[2], 50 mm Li[2]SO[4], and 0.1 m
   N-[2-acetamido]-2-iminodiacetic acid at pH 6.5 for cryo-data
   collection.

 §5§ Data Collection and Structure Determination of AMPPNP-bound bPanK §5§

   Multiwavelength anomalous dispersion data were measured from a single
   crystal of the AMPPNP-bound bPanK at beamline X12C at the National
   Synchrotron Light Source, equipped with a Q4 CCD detector (Brandeis)
   operating at 100 K. Three wavelengths near the selenium absorption
   edge, 0.95 Å (the remote), 0.9791 Å (the peak), and 0.9794 Å (the
   inflection point), were chosen by measuring the x-ray absorption
   spectrum of the protein crystal. The data set from each wavelength was
   integrated, reduced, and scaled by the programs DENZO and SCAPEPACK
   ([53]14). The crystals of the AMPPNP-bound enzyme belong to space group
   P3[2]21 with unit cell dimensions ofa = 130.1 Å and c = 281.8 Å.

   The program SOLVE ([54]15) was used to scale three wavelength data sets
   together, to locate selenium positions and to calculate the
   multiwavelength anomalous dispersion phases. The statistics of data
   collection and phasing are summarized in Table[55]I. The initial
   electron density map calculated at 3.0 Å resolution was improved by the
   noncrystallographic symmetry averaging method using the program DM (the
   CCP4 suite) ([56]16). The atomic model was built using the graphics
   programs O ([57]17) and XtalView ([58]18), followed by crystallographic
   refinement in the program XPLOR ([59]19). The refinement steps included
   rigid body, simulated annealing, conjugate gradient minimization, and
   individual B-factor refinement. A solvent mask was calculated with the
   bulk solvent correction routine in XPLOR ([60]19). During refinement,
   NCS restraints were imposed on the main chain atoms. The final
   structure contains four subunits of bPanK (6–316 residues in one
   subunit and 8–316 residues in the other three subunits). The refinement
   statistics are shown in Table[61]II.

 §5§ Data Collection and Structure Determination of CoA-bound bPanK §5§

   Complete diffraction data from a single crystal of the CoA-bound bPanK
   were also measured at beamline X12C at the National Synchrotron Light
   Source. The programs DENZO and SCALEPACK ([66]14) were used to
   integrate and scale the data set. The crystals of the CoA-bound enzyme
   belong to space group P1 with unit cell dimensions ofa = 62.0 Å, b =
   71.2 Å,c = 87.7 Å, α = 102.4°, β = 89.5°, and γ = 93.2°. The data
   collection statistics are summarized in Table [67]I.

   The structure of the CoA-bound bPanK was determined by the molecular
   replacement method using one subunit of the AMPPNP-bound enzyme as a
   search model. The cross-rotation and translation functions and
   Patterson correlation refinement were calculated using the program
   XPLOR ([68]19). Using the data between 15.0 and 4.0 Å, the rotation
   function, followed by Patterson correlation refinement, gave four
   outstanding solutions that correspond to four subunits of bPanK.
   Because any point can be taken as an origin in space group P1, rotation
   of the initial search model according to one of the four rotation
   function solutions determined the orientation and position of the first
   subunit. With fixing this orientation and position of the first
   subunit, the orientations of the other three subunits were determined
   by applying the corresponding noncrystallographic symmetry operations
   to the first subunit. The positions of the other three subunits were
   then determined by finding the relative x, y, andz translations of each
   of the three subunits with respect to the first subunit. The model
   including all four subunits was subjected to rigid body refinement at a
   resolution between 6. 0 and 4. 0 Å in the program XPLOR ([69]19). The
   high resolution limit, which restricted the maximum shift of structure
   in the refinement, was set to 4. 0 Å resolution to provide a possible
   large shift of the structure up to 4.0 Å. The low resolution limit was
   set to 6.0 Å resolution below which the intensities of reflections were
   severely affected by the diffraction of solvent molecules in the
   crystal. The Rfactor at this stage was high (51.0%), suggesting that
   the conformation of the CoA-bound structure was different from that of
   the search model, the AMPPNP-bound structure. To consider the solvent
   contribution to the intensities of reflections at low resolution, the
   structure factor amplitudes of solvent molecules in the crystal were
   calculated using the bulk solvent correction routine in XPLOR ([70]19),
   and thus the low resolution limit could be extended to 50.0 Å
   resolution. Crystallographic refinement including simulated annealing,
   conjugate gradient minimization, and individual B-factor refinement was
   then performed at the resolution between 50.0 and 2.5 Å. After the
   first round of refinement, the quality of the structure was
   dramatically improved with a working R factor of 27.4% and a freeR
   factor of 30.1%. The F [o] −F [c] difference map showed continuous
   density for CoA, verifying the correct molecular replacement solution.
   Several iterations of model building in the program O ([71]17) and the
   refinement in the program XPLOR ([72]19) further dropped both R
   factors. The final refinement statistics are shown in Table [73]II.
   Because of the slight difference between four subunits,
   noncrystallographic symmetry restraints were applied to only 89% of
   total residues of each subunit. In the final model, residues 1–5 in
   subunit 1; residues 1–7 and 211–212 in subunit 2; residues 1–5 and
   210–213 in subunit 3; and residues 1–7, 83–85, and 212–214 in subunit 4
   are excluded because they are disordered in the crystal.

 §2§ RESULTS §2§

 §5§ Monomer Structure §5§

   In the structures of the AMPPNP-bound and the CoA-bound bPanKs, four
   identical subunits are found in an asymmetric unit. When the four
   subunits occupying an asymmetric unit of each structure are compared,
   the average RMSD of Cα atoms for the AMPPNP-bound and the CoA-bound
   enzymes are 0.46 and 0.34 Å, respectively. These values are consistent
   with estimated errors in their atomic coordinates. A subunit of bPanK
   adopts a mononucleotide-binding fold ([76]20): a seven-stranded β-sheet
   (strands, 2, 3, and 8–11) is flanked by α-helices (D and E on one side
   and G and J on the other side) (Fig.[77]1). An intervening loop between
   strand 2 and helix E, known as the P-loop, contains most of the
   residues that interact with phosphate oxygens of the AMPPNP. There are
   four small antiparallel β-strands (strands 4–7) that are not part of
   the main β-sheet (Fig. [78]1 a). Residues from helices H and I
   including their intervening loop are involved in binding CoA (Fig.[79]1
   a). The N-terminal region including strand 1, helices A and D, and a
   loop between helices A and B forms the major part of the dimer
   interface (Fig. [80]1 a).

   involved in dimerization is shown in blue. AMPPNP (ball-and-stick

   b, and [89]5 were prepared using InsightII (Molecular Simulations). b,

   β-strands, respectively. c, the sequence alignment of bPanK with
   prokaryotic PanKs fromStreptococcus pyogenes, Enterococcus
   faecalis,Pasturella multocida, Hemeophilus influlenzae,Actinobacillus
   actinomycetemocomitans, Salmonella typhi, Klebsiella pneumoniae,
   Yersinia pestis, Vibrio cholerae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis,
   Corynebacterium diptheriae, andStreptomyces coelicolor. The sequence
   numbering and secondary structure assignment is according to the bPanK
   sequence. Amino acid residues identical in 12 of 13 sequences are shown
   inred. Residues implicated in catalysis are marked withasterisks, and
   Lys^101 involved in binding of ATP and CoA is marked with a triangle.

   The Dali server ([90]21) was used to search for known proteins
   structurally similar to bPanK. Applied to one subunit of bPanK, the
   best matches occurred with proteins containing a mononucleotide binding
   fold,i.e. phosphoribulokinase from Rhodobacter sphaeroides (Protein
   Data Bank code [91]1a7j, RMSD 1.9 Å, 185 residues),
   6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase from rat (Protein
   Data Bank code [92]1bif, RMSD 1.7 Å, 96 residues), and adenylate kinase
   from Bacillus stearothermophilus (Protein Data Bank code [93]1zin, RMSD
   2.1 Å, 110 residues). In light of the wide distribution of the
   mononucleotide binding fold, these findings are not surprising.
   However, the remarkable similarity of bPanK to R. sphaeroides
   phosphoribulokinase is unexpected because their sequence homology is
   limited to the P loop. Phosphoribulokinase catalyzes the ATP-dependent
   phosphorylation of ribulose 5-phosphate to ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate in
   the Calvin cycle ([94]22).

 §5§ Dimer Structure §5§

   Four subunits found in an asymmetric unit of the AMPPNP-bound enzyme
   are assembled to form two dimers, consistent with the fact that bPanK
   functions as a dimer in solution ([95]11). The dimerization interface
   occurs between two long α-helices from each of the subunits that form
   an extensive antiparallel coiled coil (Fig.[96]2 a). The interface
   contact including this coiled coil buries 4118 Å^2 of accessible
   surface area of each subunit. The physical makeup of the interface
   contact is slightly hydrophobic: 57% of nonpolar and 43% of
   polar/charged residues. By comparison, the dimer-dimer interface is not
   extensive. About 1790 Å^2 of the accessible surface area of each dimer
   is buried. Most of the residues involved in this contact are
   predominantly hydrophilic: 27% nonpolar and 73% polar/charged residues.

   Figure 2

   A comparison of the dimer structures of the AMPPNP-bound bPanK (a) and
   of the CoA-bound bPanK (b). The dimer is viewed down the
   noncrystallographic two-fold axis. AMPPNP and CoA (ball-and-stick
   representation) are shown in yellow and cyan, respectively. c, a
   space-filling diagram showing the superposition of one subunit of the
   CoA-bound enzyme onto that of the AMPPNP-bound enzyme. Both subunits of
   the AMPPNP-bound enzyme including helix D are shown in gray. The
   superimposed subunit of the CoA-bound enzyme is not shown, whereas the
   other subunit is shown inblue and its helix D is shown in red. Helical
   axes are indicated by solid lines.

   There are also two dimers in the asymmetric unit of the CoA-bound
   bPanK. However, the dimerization interface of the CoA-bound enzyme is
   not identical to that of the AMPPNP-bound enzyme resulting in a
   conformational change. The dimerization interface, depicted parallel to
   helix D of both subunits, shows a helical break where a couple of turns
   of helix D of one subunit, involving residues 68–73, are unwound (Fig.
   [101]2 b). This helical break is observed in both dimers. Consequently,
   the last two turns of helix D of the first subunit are shifted closer
   to helix D of the second subunit. This shift disturbs the dimerization
   interface to bring about an 18° rotation of the second subunit with
   respect to the first subunit, resulting in movement of the second
   subunit of as much as 15 Å (Fig.[102]2 c). The altered interface
   contact buries 3004 Å^2 of accessible surface area of each subunit. The
   two dimers also interact by burying of 2174 Å^2 of each dimer surface.

 §5§ ATP-binding Site §5§

   The electron density of AMPPNP is clearly defined in both dimers
   occupying an asymmetric unit of the AMPPNP-bound bPanK (Fig. [103]3 a).
   AMPPNP is bound in a groove formed by residues from the P-loop, the
   connecting loop of helices B and C, and the connecting loop of strands
   10 and 11. AMPPNP with residues lining the binding site are shown in
   Fig.[104]3 b. The adenine base is sandwiched by the side chains of
   Asn^43 and His^307, the latter side chain further interacting with the
   side chain of Trp^239. The N6 nitrogen of the adenine base interacts
   via water-mediated hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups of Tyr^55
   and Thr^104 and the amino group of Lys^303, whereas its N1 nitrogen
   forms a water-mediated hydrogen bond to the amide nitrogen of Ser^47.
   The ribose is hydrogen-bonded to the carboxyl group of Asp^45. The
   α-phosphate interacts with the hydroxyl group and the amide nitrogen of
   Thr^103. The β- and γ-phosphates interact with the amino group of
   Lys^101 and the β-phosphate interacts with the amide nitrogens of
   Gly^100, Lys^101, and Ser^102, whereas the γ-phosphate interacts with
   the amide nitrogen of Ala^98 and the guanidinium group of Arg^243. A
   magnesium ion is coordinated by β- and γ-phosphates on one side and the
   carboxyl group of Glu^199 and the hydroxyl group of Ser^102 on the
   other side.

   XtalView ([111]18). b, hydrogen bonds are indicated by solid lines.

   shown in blue, oxygens are in red, phosphorus is in green, and Mg^2+ is
   in cyan. Asn^43 involved in ATP recognition by stacking interaction
   with the adenine base of AMPPNP is not labeled for clarity.

 §5§ CoA-binding Site §5§

   The well defined electron density for CoA is seen in both dimers
   occupying the asymmetric unit of the CoA-bound bPanK (Fig. [112]4 a).
   CoA is bound in the enzyme in a bent conformation in a deep pocket
   lined by residues from helix H, the P loop, the connecting loop of
   strands 5 and 6 and the connecting loop of helices H and I (Fig. [113]4
   b). Because CoA is a competitive inhibitor with respect to ATP and
   these two ligands share the ADP moiety, it was suggested that both
   ligands bind to the same site ([114]4, [115]11). Unexpectedly, the
   adenine base of CoA is inserted between the side chains of His^177 and
   Phe^247, whereas the adenine-interacting residues in the AMPPNP-bound
   enzyme are Asn^43 and His^307 (Fig.[116]4 b). The α-phosphate of CoA is
   salt bridged to the guanidinium group of Arg^243 and the amino group of
   Lys^101 that also interacts with the β-phosphate of CoA (Fig. [117]4
   b). The 3′-phosphate of CoA is hydrogen-bonded to the amide nitrogen of
   Ile^42 and the hydroxyl group of Ser^102 and salt bridged to the
   guanidinium group of Arg^106 (Fig. [118]4 b). These interactions of the
   3′-phosphate group may be essential for the inhibitory effect of CoA
   because dephospho-CoA is a significantly less potent inhibitor of bPanK
   activity ([119]4). By comparison, the same 3′-phosphate group in
   several CoA-binding proteins shows no interaction with the protein and
   is exposed to solvent (for review see Ref. [120]23). The exceptions are
   acyl-CoA binding protein ([121]24) and the surfactin synthetase
   activating enzyme Sfp ([122]25), in which the 3′-phosphate interacts
   with the protein residues such as His and Lys.

   bound CoA. The map was calculated from 50.0 to 2.5 Å resolution and
   contoured at 3.0 ς.b, hydrogen bonds are indicated by solid lines. The
   thiol group of coenzyme A is shown in light green, and other atom
   colors are as described in the legend to Fig.[127]3 b. His^177 involved
   in CoA recognition by stacking interaction with the adenine base and
   Asn^282forming a hydrogen-bond with the β-mercaptoethylamine moiety are
   not labeled for clarity.

   Hydrophobic atoms of the pantothenate moiety of CoA form van der Waals'
   contacts with residues Leu^130, Tyr^175, and Ile^281 (Fig. [128]4 b).
   The carbonyl oxygen of the pantothenate moiety near the
   β-mercaptoethylamine moiety is hydrogen bonded to the hydroxyl group of
   Tyr^240 and to the amide group of Asn^282 (Fig. [129]4 b). The amide
   nitrogen of the β-mercaptoethylamine moiety is hydrogen-bonded to the
   hydroxyl group of Tyr^180 (Fig. [130]4 b). Strikingly, the thiol group
   of the β-mercaptoethylamine moiety is tightly sealed from water
   molecules by interacting with four aromatic residues, Phe^244, Phe^252,
   Phe^259, and Tyr^262 and also by intra-molecular hydrogen bonding to
   the amino group of the adenine base (Fig. [131]4 b). The thiol group
   approaches the face of Phe^259 at the distance of 3.8 Å between the
   sulfur atom and the ring centroid. The thiol group also approaches the
   edges of Phe^244, Phe^252, and Tyr^262, and the distances between the
   sulfur atom and the ring carbons of Phe^244, Phe^252, and Tyr^262 are
   3.8, 3.5, and 4.1 Å, respectively. These sulfur-aromatic interactions
   are weakly polar interactions ([132]26-30) that are stronger than van
   der Waals' interactions between nonpolar atoms ([133]31). These types
   of sulfur-aromatic interactions are involved in protein stability and
   function ([134]31, [135]32). The structure of another regulatory enzyme
   in the CoA biosynthetic pathway, phosphopantetheine
   adenylyltransferase, exhibits a dinucleotide-binding fold ([136]33).
   The C-terminal loops of five parallel β-strands bind the product
   dephospho-CoA. As in the CoA-bound bPanK, the thiol group of
   dephospho-CoA in phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase is shielded
   from water molecules by interacting with the side chains of hydrophobic
   residues.

 §5§ The Specific Binding of Coenzyme A Compared with AMPPNP §5§

   Structural analysis of the AMPPNP-bound and the CoA-bound bPanKs
   provides the basis for understanding the CoA inhibition compared with
   the substrate ATP. Superimposed structures of the AMPPNP-bound and the
   CoA-bound enzymes (an average RMSD of 1.48 Å) shows that both the α-
   and β-phosphates of CoA and the β- and γ-phosphates of AMPPNP occupy
   the same space and interact with the residue Lys^101 (Fig. [137]5).
   This suggests that inhibition by CoA and its thioesters is achieved by
   occluding ATP binding to Lys^101. Mutation of this residue abolishes
   the binding of ATPγS, a nonhydrolyzable ATP analogue, as well as CoA to
   bPanK ([138]11), supporting the involvement of Lys^101 in binding of
   both ligands.

   Figure 5

   Close-up stereoview of the overlapping site of two ligands, AMPPNP and
   CoA. The binding pockets of AMPPNP and CoA are shown in yellow and
   cyan, respectively. CoA (magenta) and AMPPNP (black) are shown inlines.
   a, residues of the AMPPNP-bound enzyme are shown in brown, and residues
   of the CoA-bound enzyme are not shown for clarity. Note that the
   carboxyl group of Glu^249of the AMPPNP-bound enzyme coincides with the
   pantetheine moiety of CoA. b, residues of the CoA-bound enzyme are
   shown ingreen, and residues of the AMPPNP-bound enzyme are not shown
   for clarity. Note that the carboxyl group of Glu^44 of the CoA-bound
   enzyme coincides with the adenine base of AMPPNP.

   A significant difference between the two structures is found at the
   structural motif containing helix B and its flanking loops (Fig.
   [143]5). Residues from this structural motif interact with the adenine
   base of ATP in the AMPPNP-bound enzyme (Figs. [144]3 b and [145]5 a).
   In the CoA-bound enzyme, the C-terminal flanking loop of helix B
   including the residues 41–44 moves toward the binding pocket for the
   adenine base of ATP, which is vacant because there is no bound ATP
   (Fig. [146]5 b). This movement orients the carboxyl group of Glu^44
   into the empty adenine-binding pocket (Fig.[147]5 b). Consequently, the
   carboxyl group of Glu^44forms a salt bridge with the amino group of
   Lys^303 and a hydrogen bond to the imidazole group of His^307
   (Fig.[148]5 b). In the AMPPNP-bound enzyme, these two interacting
   residues define part of the boundary of the adenine-binding pocket
   (Fig. [149]3 b). The movement of the C-terminal flanking loop of helix
   B also brings the amide nitrogen of Ile^42 within a hydrogen bonding
   distance of the 3′-phosphate of CoA (Fig.[150]4 b).

   Other differences between the two structures are found at the binding
   pocket for the pantetheine moiety of CoA (Fig. [151]5). In the
   AMPPNP-bound enzyme, Glu^249 is not a part of helix H, and its carboxyl
   group occupies the pantetheine-binding pocket (Fig.[152]5 a). Upon
   binding of CoA, the main chain of Glu^249 moves by 12.3 Å to become a
   part of helix H (Fig.[153]5 b). Because of this movement, its carboxyl
   group no longer occupies the pantetheine-binding pocket and is exposed
   to solvent. Instead, the aromatic side chain of Phe^252 moves closer to
   the pantetheine-binding pocket to interact with the thiol group of CoA
   (Fig. [154]5 b).

 §2§ DISCUSSION §2§

   The structure of AMPPNP-bound bPanK illustrates the ATP binding site in
   the enzyme and the specific interactions between the enzyme and ATP. We
   predict that the reaction proceeds through deprotonation of the
   hydroxyl group of pantothenate followed by its nucleophilic attack on
   the γ-phosphate of ATP to produce the pentacoordinate transition state,
   that breaks down to phosphopantothenate and ADP. This mechanism
   requires a general base to activate the hydroxyl group of pantothenate.
   There are two residues near the γ-phosphate of ATP that could
   potentially act as the general base. ADP:vanadate mimics the
   pentacoordinate transition state in ATP hydrolysis byDictyostelium
   myosin ([157]34). We therefore superimposed the coordinates of
   ADP-vanadate (Protein Data Bank code [158]1vom) onto the γ-phosphate
   binding pocket of the AMPPNP-bound enzyme to gain insight into the
   potential mechanism. The carboxyl side chain of Asp^127 is located 3.3
   Å from the apical oxygen of the modeled vanadate. Because the position
   of the apical oxygen approximates the hydroxyl group of the substrate
   pantothenate during catalysis, this observation supports the
   involvement of Asp^127 in the nucleophilic activation of the substrate
   hydroxyl group. A mutagenesis study of the equivalent aspartate in
   phosphoribulokinase, a structurally homologous protein ofR.
   sphaeroides, demonstrates the importance of this aspartate residue in
   catalysis ([159]35). The imidazole side chain of His^177 is located 5.0
   Å from the apical oxygen of the modeled vanadate and is an alternative
   choice as a general base. The average B-factor of the loop containing
   H177 is 52.8 Å^ 2, whereas that of the entire protein is 43.4 Å^2,
   indicating the flexibility of this loop and opening the possibility
   that His^177 could move closer when pantothenate is bound to the
   enzyme. Both candidate residues are completely conserved among the
   known prokaryotic PanKs (Fig. [160]1 c).

   Positively charged residues are important to stabilize the
   pentacoordinate transition state of γ-phosphate in nucleotide
   monophosphate kinases ([161]36-38), phosphosugar kinases ([162]39-41),
   and G-proteins ([163]42). In the AMPPNP-bound bPanK, the side chain of
   R243 neutralizes the negative charge on the γ-phosphate oxygen via a
   salt bridge. The superposition of ADP:vanadate and the γ-phosphate
   binding pocket of AMPPNP-bound enzyme illustrates that the guanidinium
   group of Arg^243 could form a hydrogen bond with one of the equatorial
   oxygens in the trigonal bipyramid of vanadate, suggesting that Arg^243
   stabilizes the transition state of the γ-phosphate. The involvement of
   Arg^243 in catalysis is further supported from a mutagenesis study that
   changed the equivalent arginine in R. sphaeroides phosphoribulokinase,
   resulting in a reduction of the enzymatic activity ([164]43). Arg^243
   is also completely conserved among the known prokaryotic PanKs
   (Fig.[165]1 c).

   Our structures provide the framework for understanding the detailed
   mechanism for the competitive inhibition of bPanK by CoA with respect
   to ATP ([166]11). A surprising finding in this study is that ATP and
   CoA bind to bPanK in very different orientations and that the adenine
   moieties bind via a nonoverlapping set of residues. However, both
   molecules do occupy a portion of the same space in the active site by
   utilizing Lys^101 to neutralize the charge on their respective
   phosphodiesters. This interaction explains the finding that the
   bPanK[K101M] mutant is catalytically inactive and fails to bind both
   ATP and CoA ([167]11). A comparison of the AMPPNP- and CoA-bPanK
   structures identifies His^177, Phe^247, and Arg^106 as residues
   involved in CoA recognition that are not required for ATP binding.
   His^177 and Phe^247 are implicated in stacking interactions with the
   adenine base of CoA, and Arg^106 forms a salt bridge with the
   3′-phosphate of CoA (Fig. [168]4 b).

   bPanK is more potently inhibited by nonesterified CoA than by its
   thioesters including acetyl-, succinyl-, malonyl-, acetoacetyl-, and
   palmitoyl-CoA ([169]4), suggesting that the enzyme distinguishes
   various CoAs by the length of the acyl chain. In the CoA-bound enzyme,
   the binding of the thiol group is associated with the side chains of
   several aromatic residues by the weak electrostatic interactions that
   block access of the thiol to solvent. More importantly, the tight fit
   of the thiol group with surrounding aromatic residues allows only
   nonesterified CoA to optimally bind. If acetyl-CoA is docked at the CoA
   binding site, the sulfur atom of acetyl-CoA would still interact with
   Phe^244, Phe^259, and Tyr^262. However, the interaction with Phe^252
   would be no longer possible because of a bulky acetyl group. A
   conformational change involving a rearrangement of the side chain of
   Phe^252and/or a movement of the Phe^252-containing loop between helices
   H and I would be required to accommodate the acetyl group. The same
   steric hindrance principle can be applied to explain why the
   inhibitions of other CoA thioesters containing even longer acyl groups
   than acetyl-CoA are less effective than that of nonesterified CoA.

   The complex of bPanK with AMPPNP provides a first look into the
   structure and catalytic residues of bPanK, the first step in the CoA
   biosynthetic pathway. Additionally, the specific complex with CoA
   provides a structural model for feedback regulation that describes the
   unique mechanism for the competitive inhibition of ATP binding by CoA.
   Furthermore, these two structures will be valuable tools in the search
   for novel anti-bactericides because PanK is an essential protein in
   bacteria ([170]44) and bears no resemblance in primary sequence to the
   mammalian enzyme ([171]13).
