Parallel Arg/N-degron recognition systems regulate coenzyme A biosynthesis

Coenzyme A (CoA) is an essential metabolic cofactor whose biosynthesis is controlled by pantothenate kinases (PANKs), the rate-limiting enzymes in CoA synthesis. Although CoA production is extensively regulated, whether PANK abundance is controlled by selective protein degradation remains unknown. Here, we identify PANK1{beta} and PANK3 as substrates of the Arg/N-degron pathway. Two…
