Adenylate forming domain, Class I, also known as the ANL superfamily
This family is known as the ANL (acyl-CoA synthetases, the NRPS adenylation domains, and the Luciferase enzymes) superfamily. It includes acyl- and aryl-CoA ligases, as well as the adenylation domain of nonribosomal peptide synthetases and firefly luciferases.The adenylate-forming enzymes catalyze an ATP-dependent two-step reaction to first activate a carboxylate substrate as an adenylate and then transfer the carboxylate to the pantetheine group of either coenzyme A or an acyl-carrier protein. The active site of the domain is located at the interface of a large N-terminal subdomain and a smaller C-terminal subdomain.
