CommentPantothenate (vitamin B5) is a precursor of coenzyme A and is made from aspartate and 2-oxoisovalerate in most bacteria with completed genome sequences. However, some pathogens must import pantothenate. This HMM describes PanF, a sodium/pantothenate symporter, from a larger family of Sodium/substrate symporters (PF00474). Several species that have this transporter appear to lack all enzymes of pantothenate biosynthesis, namely Haemophilus influenzae, Pasteurella multocida, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Borrelia burgdorferi.
