Crystals of phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase (PPAT) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the apo form and in complexes with coenzyme A (PPAT/CoA) and dephosphocoenzyme A (PPAT/dPCoA) were grown in microgravity by the capillary counter-diffusion method. The structures of PPAT Mt in the apo form and in complexes with ligands were solved based on the X-ray diffraction data collected from the grown crystals. The crystal structures were refined at 1.76, 1.59, and 1.59 Angstrom-Sign resolution to Rf factors of 0.175, 0.159, and 0.157 and Rfree of 0.224, 0.208, and 0.206 for PPAT, PPAT/CoA, and PPAT/dPCoA, respectively. The atomic coordinates of the structures were deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB ID: 3RFF, 3RHS, and 3RBA). In these structures, the ligand-binding sites were determined, the environment of these sites was characterized, and the conformational changes accompanying the ligand binding were analyzed.
