EC 6.3.4.14

Accepted name: biotin carboxylase

Reaction: ATP + [biotin carboxyl-carrier protein]-biotin-N6-L-lysine + hydrogencarbonate- = ADP + phosphate + [biotin carboxyl-carrier protein]-carboxybiotin-N6-L-lysine

Other name(s): accC (gene name); biotin-carboxyl-carrier-protein:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming)

Systematic name: [biotin carboxyl-carrier protein]-biotin-N6-L-lysine:hydrogencarbonate ligase (ADP-forming)

Comments: 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, biotin—[biotin carboxyl-carrier protein] ligase. 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 catalyses the transfer of the carboxyl group from biotin to acetyl-CoA (see EC 6.4.1.2, acetyl-CoA carboxylase).
