EC 2.3.1.47 Details
EC number
2.3.1.47
Accepted name
8-amino-7-oxononanoate synthase
Reaction
pimeloyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + L-alanine = 8-amino-7-oxononanoate + CO2 + holo-[acyl-carrier protein]
Other name(s)
7-keto-8-aminopelargonic acid synthetase, 7-keto-8-aminopelargonic synthetase, 8-amino-7-oxopelargonate synthase, bioF (gene name)
Systematic name
6-carboxyhexanoyl-[acyl-carrier protein]:L-alanine C-carboxyhexanoyltransferase (decarboxylating)
CAS registry number
9075-61-0
Comment
A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. The enzyme catalyses the decarboxylative condensation of L-alanine and pimeloyl-[acyl-carrier protein], a key step in the pathway for biotin biosynthesis. Pimeloyl-CoA can be used with lower efficiency [5].
