A novel way to synthesize pantothenate in bacteria involves β‐alanine synthase present in uracil degradation pathway

Abstract Pantothenate is an indispensable vitamin precursor of the synthesis of coenzyme A (CoA), a key metabolite required in over 100 metabolic reactions. β‐Alanine (β‐ala) is an indispensable component of pantothenate. Due to the metabolic relevance of this pathway, we assumed that orthologous ge...
