| Abstract |
Escherichia coli mutants [coaA16(Fr); Fr indicates feedback resistance] were isolated which possessed a pantothenate kinase activity that was refractory to feedback inhibition by coenzyme A (CoA). Strains harboring this mutation had CoA levels that were significantly elevated compared with strains containing the wild-type kinase and also overproduced both intra- and extracellular 4'-phosphopantetheine. The origin of 4'-phosphopantetheine was investigated by using strain SJ135 [panD delta(aroP-aceEF)], in which synthesis of acetyl-CoA was dependent on the addition of an acetate growth supplement. Rapid degradation of CoA to 4'-phosphopantetheine was triggered by the conversion of acetyl-CoA to CoA following the removal of acetate from the media. CoA hydrolysis under these conditions appeared not to involve acyl carrier protein prosthetic group turnover since [acyl carrier protein] phosphodiesterase was inhibited equally well by acetyl-CoA or CoA. These data support the view that the total cellular CoA content is controlled by modulation of biosynthesis at the pantothenate kinase step and by degradation of CoA to 4'-phosphopantetheine. |
