Application

Dephosphocoenzyme A is the direct precursor of coenzyme A. It is used for the synthesis of coenzyme A by bifunctional CoA Synthase (CoASy, 4′-phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase/dephospho-CoA kinase) which performs the transfer of the γ-phosphate of ATP to dephosphocoenzyme A.
3′-Dephosphocoenzyme A has been used as a substrate to initiate transcription.

Biochem/physiol Actions

3′-Dephosphocoenzyme A (DepCoA), also called desphosphoCoA (dpCoA), is synthesized from 4-phosphopantetheine by the enzyme phosphopanthetheine adenylyltransferase. It is an intermediate in coenzyme A biosynthetic pathway. In the presence of dephospho-CoA kinase (CoaE), dephosphocoenzyme A is converted to coenzyme A. 3′-Dephosphocoenzyme shares adenosine-diphosphate substructure as like the purines and is a non-canonical nucleotide and is an initiator of transcription initiation. It is routinely used in in vitro transcription studies to initiate RNA synthesis.

Efficient one-pot enzymatic synthesis of dephospho coenzyme A
Sapkota K and Huang F
Bioorganic Chemistry, 76, 23-27 (2018)
Thomas J Wubben et al.
Journal of molecular biology, 404(2), 202-219 (2010-09-21)
Phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase (PPAT) catalyzes the penultimate step in the coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthetic pathway, reversibly transferring an adenylyl group from ATP to 4'-phosphopantetheine (PhP) to form dephosphocoenzyme A. This reaction sits at the branch point between the de novo pathway
