Function

BIOU_SYNY3 A 'suicide' enzyme that participates in biotin synthesis. Catalyzes the formation of (S)-8-amino-7-oxononanoate (DAN-carbamic acid) from (7R,8S)-8-amino-7-(carboxyamino)nonanoate (DAN), a function equivalent to the cannonical BioA reaction and the first half-reaction of BioD. The cellular requirement for biotin is thought be low enough that this single turnover enzyme supplies a sufficient amount of the cofactor. Overall it catalyzes three reactions: formation of a covalent linkage with 8-amino-7-oxononanoate to yield a BioU-DAN conjugate at the epsilon-amino group of Lys124 of BioU using NAD(P)H, carboxylation of the conjugate to form BioU-DAN-carbamic acid, and release of DAN-carbamic acid using NAD(P)+ (By similarity) (PubMed:32042199). A coupled Synechocystis BioU/BioD assay produces dethiobiotin from DAN. Complements a bioA deletion in E.coli but not a bioD1 deletion (PubMed:32042199).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00852]^[1]
