2.8.1.6 biotin synthase
IUBMB Comments
The enzyme binds a [4Fe-4S] and a [2Fe-2S] cluster. In every reaction cycle, the enzyme consumes two molecules of AdoMet. The first reaction produces 5′-deoxyadenosine and 4,5-secobiotin. Reaction with another equivalent of AdoMet results in abstraction of the C-6 methylene pro-S hydrogen atom from 4,5-secobiotin, and the resulting carbon radical is quenched via formation of an intramolecular C-S bond, thus closing the biotin tetrahydrothiophene ring. The sulfur donor is believed to be the [2Fe-2S] cluster, which is sacrificed in the process, so that in vitro the reaction is a single turnover. In vivo, the [2Fe-2S] cluster can be reassembled by the Isc or Suf iron-sulfur cluster assembly systems, to allow further catalysis.
The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Eukaryota, Archaea

[2Fe-2S]-center
a reaction intermediate includes Arg260 as a deprotonated guanidino group, coordinated to the ferrous iron of the auxiliary [2Fe-2S] cluster as a monodentate ligand. The 9-mercaptodethiobiotin C9 is covalently coordinated to the auxiliary [2Fe-2S] cluster, which maintains the geometric and electronic structure characteristics of a typical reduced [2Fe-2S]+ cluster, with most of the spin density localized on the cluster and only a small positive spin density residing on the 9-mercaptodethiobiotin ligand via through-bond (C9 and my-thiolate) spin delocalization. C6, the target of the second hydrogen-atom abstraction, is now located in close proximity to the newly acquired thiolate sulfur
Fe-S center
the enzyme contains one [4Fe-4S]2+ cluster and one air-stable [2Fe-2S]2+ cluster per monomer
Fe-S center

enzyme contains two distinct Fe-S cluster binding sites, one site accomodates a (2Fe-2S)2+ cluster with partial noncysteinyl ligation, the other site accomodates a (4Fe-4S)2+ cluster that binds S-adenosyl-L-methionine and undergoes O2-induced degradation

the as-isolated form of enzyme contains an air-stable [2Fe-2S]2+ center. Enzyme can additionally accomodate an air-sensitive [4Fe-4S]2+ center which is generated by incubation under anaerobic conditions with Fe2+ and S2-.

BioB appears to be resistant to degradation and capable of multiple turnovers only under high-iron conditions that favor repair of the FeS clusters, a process most likely mediated by the Isc or Suf iron-sulfur cluster assembly systems.

acidomycin
acidomycin inhibits biotin synthesis through the competitive inhibition of biotin synthase BioB and also stimulates unproductive cleavage of S-adenosyl-L-methionine to generate the toxic metabolite 5'-deoxyadenosine. Acidomycin selectively accumulates in Mycobycterium tuberculosis. The development of spontaneous resistance by Mycobacterium tuberculosis to acidomycin is difficult, and only low-level resistance to acidomycin is observed by overexpression of BioB

biotin synthase catalyzes the final step in the biosynthesis of biotin
physiological function

-
single mutations in the global regulator IscR can substantially improve cellular tolerance to BioB overexpression, increasing Escherichia coli dethiobiotin-to-biotin biocatalysis by more than 2.2fold. In the overexpression strains, FeS-cluster depletion is the main reason for toxicity. IscR mutations significantly affect cell viability and improve cell factories for de novo biosynthesis of thiamine by 1.3fold and lipoic acid by 1.8fold

-
biotin synthase catalyses the final step in the biosynthesis of biotin
physiological function
-
biotin synthase catalyses the last step in the biosynthesis of biotin
physiological function
-
overexpression of biotin synthase is required for efficient generation of sulfur-35 labeled biotin in Escherichia coli. Coexpression of both BioB and the biotin ligase, BirA, is required for efficient biotinylation of biotin carboxy carrier protein-79
physiological function
a semistable intermediate in the formation of the first C-S bond is 9-mercaptodethiobiotin linked to a paramagnetic [2Fe-2S] cluster through one of its bridging sulfides. C6, the target of the second hydrogen-atom abstraction, is now in close proximity to the nascent thioether sulfur and is ideally positioned for the second C-S bond forming event
physiological function
avirulent nematodes produce an active biotin synthase while virulent ones contain an inactive form of the enzyme. A diverse mixture of BioB alleles is found with the virulent form being the most prevalent. Complementation of an Escherichia coli vitamin B7 auxotroph only occurs for the bacteria containing the avirulentBioB allele containing the P24/R44 amino acid combination
