Biochem/physiol Actions
Biotin ligase BirA controls biotin synthesis in Escherichia coli. It sends biotin to metabolism. As a homodimer, it negatively controls the biotin synthetic operon. BirA also catalyzes post-translational biotinylation, by associating with biotin acceptor protein of acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase. It can biotinylate human histones.
