Ketopantoate reductase catalyzes the second step of the pantothenate pathway after ketoisovalerate, common intermediate in valine, leucine and pantothenate biosynthesis. We show here that the Corynebacterium glutamicum ilvC gene is able to complement a ketopantoate reductase deficient Escherichia coli mutant. Thus ilvC, encoding acetohydroxyacid isomeroreductase, involved in the common pathway for branched-chained amino acids, also exhibits ketopantoate reductase activity. Enzymatic activity was confirmed by biochemical analysis in C. glutamicum. Furthermore, inactivation of ilvC in C. glutamicum leads to auxotrophy for pantothenate, indicating that ilvC is the only ketopantoate reductase- encoding gene in C. glutamicum.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
