FunFam 45: Biotin carboxylase

There are 2 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Biotin carboxylase. [EC: 6.3.4.14]
ATP + [biotin carboxyl-carrier protein]-biotin-N(6)-L-lysine + hydrogencarbonate- = ADP + phosphate + [biotin carboxyl-carrier protein]- carboxybiotin-N(6)-L-lysine.
  • This enzyme, part of an acetyl-CoA carboxylase complex, acts on a biotin carboxyl-carrier protein (BCCP) that has been biotinylated by EC 6.3.4.15.
  • In some organisms the enzyme is part of a multi-domain polypeptide that also includes the carrier protein (e.g. mycobacteria).
  • Yet in other organisms (e.g. mammals) this activity is included in a single polypeptide that also catalyzes the transfer of the carboxyl group from biotin to acetyl-CoA (see EC 6.4.1.2).

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase. [EC: 6.4.1.2]
ATP + acetyl-CoA + HCO(3)(-) = ADP + phosphate + malonyl-CoA.
  • This enzyme is a multi-domain polypeptide that catalyzes three different activities - a biotin carboxyl-carrier protein (BCCP), a biotin carboxylase that catalyzes the transfer of a carboxyl group from hydrogencarbonate to the biotin molecule carried by the carrier protein, and the transfer of the carboxyl group from biotin to acetyl-CoA, forming malonyl-CoA.
  • In some organisms these activities are catalyzed by separate enzymes (see EC 6.3.4.14 and EC 2.1.3.15).
  • The carboxylation of the carrier protein requires ATP, while the transfer of the carboxyl group to acetyl-CoA does not.
