In molecular biology, the 4'-phosphopantetheinyl transferase superfamily of proteins transfer a 4'-phosphopantetheine (4'-PP) moiety from coenzyme A (CoA) to an invariant serine in an acyl carrier protein (ACP), a small protein responsible for acyl group activation in fatty acid biosynthesis. This post-translational modification renders holo-ACP capable of acyl group activation via thioesterification of the cysteamine thiol of 4'-PP.[1] This superfamily consists of two subtypes: The ACPS type such as E. coli ACPS and the Sfp type such as B. subtilis SFP. The structure of the Sfp type is known,[2] which shows the active site accommodates a magnesium ion. The most highly conserved regions of the protein are involved in binding the magnesium ion.
