Molecular Basis of BioJ, a Unique Gatekeeper in Bacterial Biotin Synthesis

Biotin is an indispensable cofactor in the three domains of life. The unusual virulence factor BioJ of Francisella catalyzes the formation of pimeloyl-ACP, an intermediate in biotin synthesis. Here, we report the 1.58 Å crystal structure of BioJ, the enzymatic activity of which is determined with th...
