Symposium: Nutrition, Biochemisty and Molecular Biology of Biotin Molecular Biology of Biotin Attachment to Proteins
Enzymatic attachment of biotin to proteins requires the interaction of a distinct domain of the acceptor protein (the “biotin domain”) with the enzyme, biotin protein ligase, that catalyzes this essential and rare post-translational modification. Both biotin domains and biotin protein ligases are very strongly conserved throughout biology. This review concerns the protein structures and mechani...
متن کاملBiotin dependency due to a defect in biotin transport.
We describe a 3-year-old boy with biotin dependency not caused by biotinidase, holocarboxylase synthetase, or nutritional biotin deficiency. We sought to define the mechanism of his biotin dependency. The child became acutely encephalopathic at age 18 months. Urinary organic acids indicated deficiency of several biotin-dependent carboxylases. Symptoms improved rapidly following biotin supplemen...
متن کاملEffects of Biotin Deficiency on Biotinylated Proteins and Biotin-Related Genes in the Rat Brain.
Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that functions as a cofactor for biotin-dependent carboxylases. The biochemical and physiological roles of biotin in brain regions have not yet been investigated sufficiently in vivo. Thus, in order to clarify the function of biotin in the brain, we herein examined biotin contents, biotinylated protein expression (e.g. holocarboxylases), and biotin-related gene...
متن کاملBiotin biosynthetic enzymes and the metabolic control of biotin biosynthesis
Biotin is a vital cofactor for many enzymes that facilitate carboxylation, decarboxylation, and transcarboxylation reactions. The biotin biosynthetic network has been well characterized in many microorganisms including E.coli (Eisenberg, 1973), but only recently have the genetic and biochemical components of the Arabidopsis biotin biosynthetic enzymes been discovered. Previous studies (Muralla ...
متن کاملLigand exchange between proteins. Exchange of biotin and biotin derivatives between avidin and streptavidin.
We have studied the structural elements that affect ligand exchange between the two high affinity biotin-binding proteins, egg white avidin and its bacterial analogue, streptavidin. For this purpose, we have developed a simple assay based on the antipodal behavior of the two proteins toward hydrolysis of biotinyl p-nitrophenyl ester (BNP). The assay provided the experimental basis for these stu...
