birA Protein, E. coli (His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

The birA protein has the dual role of biotin ligase and biotin operon repressor. In the presence of ATP, it activates biotin to form the BirA-biotinyl-5'-adenylate complex. birA Protein, E. coli (His) is the recombinant E. coli-derived birA protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

The birA protein has the dual role of biotin ligase and biotin operon repressor. In the presence of ATP, it activates biotin to form the BirA-biotinyl-5'-adenylate complex. birA Protein, E. coli (His) is the recombinant E. coli-derived birA protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Background

The BirA protein serves a dual role as both a biotin--[acetyl-CoA-carboxylase] ligase and a biotin-operon repressor. In the presence of ATP, BirA activates biotin, leading to the formation of the BirA-biotinyl-5'-adenylate (BirA-bio-5'-AMP or holoBirA) complex. HoloBirA can function by transferring the biotinyl group to the biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) subunit of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, thereby facilitating its activity. Alternatively, holoBirA can bind to the biotin operator site and inhibit the transcription of the operon. Despite its characterization as an orphan receptor, the specific ligand or function of the GPR146 protein remains unidentified.
