Structural highlights
Function
SFP_BACSU Activates the seven peptidyl carrier protein (PCP) domains of surfactin synthase SRF1/2/3 by transferring the 4'-phosphopantetheinyl moiety of coenzyme A (CoA) to a serine residue. Required for cells of B.subtilis to become producers of the lipopeptide antibiotics surfactin and plipastatin B1.[1]
