Structure of bifunctional DAPA aminotransferase-DTB synthetase from Arabidopsis thaliana bound to dethiobiotin (DTB).

Structural highlights
FunctionBIODA_ARATH Bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes two different reactions involved in the biotin biosynthesis. Catalyzes a mechanistically unusual reaction, the ATP-dependent insertion of CO2 between the N7 and N8 nitrogen atoms of 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid (DAPA) to form an ureido ring. Catalyzes the transfer of the alpha-amino group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to 7-keto-8-aminopelargonic acid (KAPA) to form 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid (DAPA). It is the only animotransferase known to utilize SAM as an amino donor. See AlsoContents | ||||||||||||||||||||
