Enzyme Information
| 3.1.1.85 |
Pimeloyl-[acyl-carrier protein] methyl ester esterase.
based on mapping to UniProt P13001
Pimeloyl-[acyl-carrier protein] methyl ester + H(2)O = pimeloyl-[acyl- carrier protein] + methanol.
-!- Involved in biotin biosynthesis in Gram-negative bacteria. -!- The enzyme exhibits carboxylesterase activity, particularly toward substrates with short acyl chains. -!- Even though the enzyme can interact with coenzyme A thioesters, the in vivo role of the enzyme is to hydrolyze the methyl ester of pimeloyl-[acyl carrier protein], terminating the part of the biotin biosynthesis pathway that is catalyzed by the fatty acid elongation enzymes.
