  Domain Name: PP-binding
Phosphopantetheine attachment site. A 4'-phosphopantetheine prosthetic group is attached through a serine. This prosthetic group acts as a a 'swinging arm' for the attachment of activated fatty acid and amino-acid groups. This domain forms a four helix bundle. This family includes members not included in Prosite. The inclusion of these members is supported by sequence analysis and functional evidence. The related domain of Vibrio anguillarum angR has the attachment serine replaced by an alanine.
