Protein Family Models

This domain is found in a number of proteins involved in cofactor biosynthesis such as dethiobiotin synthase and cobyric acid synthase. This domain contains a P-loop motif. (from Pfam)

This family consists of various cobyrinic acid a,c-diamide synthases. These include CbiA Swiss:P29946 and CbiP Swiss:Q05597 from S.typhimurium [4], and CobQ Swiss:Q52686 from R. capsulatus [3]. These amidases catalyse amidations to various side chains of hydrogenobyrinic acid or cobyrinic acid a,c-diamide in the biosynthesis of cobalamin (vitamin B12) from uroporphyrinogen III. Vitamin B12 is an important cofactor and an essential nutrient for many plants and animals and is primarily produced by bacteria [4]. The family also contains dethiobiotin synthetases as well as the plasmid partitioning proteins of the MinD/ParA family [6]. [1]. 9742225.

ATP-dependent dethiobiotin synthetase BioD catalyzes a mechanistically unusual reaction, the ATP-dependent insertion of CO2 between the N7 and N8 nitrogen atoms of 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid (DAPA, also called 7,8-diammoniononanoate) to form a ureido ring

Dethiobiotin synthase is involved in biotin biosynthesis and catalyses the reaction (CO2 + 7,8-diaminononanoate + ATP = dethiobiotin + phosphate + ADP). The enzyme binds ATP (see motif in first 12 residues of the SEED alignment) and requires magnesium as a co-factor.
