Type: | Family | Name: | Phosphopantothenoylcysteine decarboxylase |
Description: | In most bacteria, a single bifunctional protein catalyses phosphopantothenoylcysteine decarboxylase and phosphopantothenate--cysteine ligase activities, sequential steps in coenzyme A biosynthesis. These activities reside in separate proteins encoded by tandem genes in some bacterial lineages. This entry describes proteins from the genera Streptococcus and Enterococcus homologous to the N-terminal region of , corresponding to phosphopantothenoylcysteine decarboxylase activity []. | Short Name: | CoaC_strep |
