Our in vitro assays showed that the coded protein transfers phosphopantetheine
to the thiolation domain of the ebony protein (FBgn 0000527). This reaction
depends on CoA and is therefore homologous to the reaction catalyzed by
microbial phosphopantetheine transferases. We therefore propose that CG32099
is a Drosophila phosphopantetheine transferase and since it converts apo-Ebony
to holo-Ebony named it Ebony Activating Protein (EAP).
