6.3.4.15

Accepted name:

biotin—[biotin carboxyl-carrier protein] ligase

Reaction:

ATP + biotin + [biotin carboxyl-carrier protein]-L-lysine = AMP + diphosphate + [biotin carboxyl-carrier protein]-N⁶-biotinyl-L-lysine

Other name(s):

birA (gene name); HLCS (gene name); HCS1 (gene name); biotin-[acetyl-CoA carboxylase] synthetase; biotin-[acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase] synthetase; acetyl coenzyme A holocarboxylase synthetase; acetyl CoA holocarboxylase synthetase; biotin:apocarboxylase ligase; Biotin holoenzyme synthetase; biotin:apo-[acetyl-CoA:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming)] ligase (AMP-forming); biotin—[acetyl-CoA-carboxylase] ligase

Systematic name:

biotin:apo-[carboxyl-carrier protein] ligase (AMP-forming)

Comments:

The enzyme biotinylates a biotin carboxyl-carrier protein that is part of an acetyl-CoA carboxylase complex, enabling its subsequent carboxylation by EC 6.3.4.14, biotin carboxylase. The carboxyl group is eventually transferred to acetyl-CoA by EC 2.1.3.15, acetyl-CoA carboxytransferase. In some organisms the carrier protein is part of EC 6.4.1.2, acetyl-CoA carboxylase.
