Domain Context

CATH Clusters

Superfamily Aspartate Aminotransferase, domain 1
Functional Family 8-amino-7-oxononanoate synthase

Enzyme Information

2.3.1.47
8-amino-7-oxononanoate synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt P12998
Pimeloyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + L-alanine = 8-amino-7-oxononanoate + CO(2) + holo-[acyl-carrier protein].
-!- The enzyme catalyzes the decarboxylative condensation of L-alanine and pimeloyl-[acyl-carrier protein], a key step in the pathway for biotin biosynthesis. -!- Pimeloyl-CoA can be used with lower efficiency.
