Abstract excerpt
Human holocarboxylase synthetase shows a high degree of sequence homology in the catalytic domain with bacterial biotin ligases such as Escherichia coli BirA, but differs in the length and sequence of the N-terminus. Despite several studies having been undertaken on the N-terminal region of hHCS, the role of this region remains unclear. We determined the structure of the N-terminal domain of hHCS by limited...
