8-amino-7-oxononanoate synthase

UniProtKB accession:  P12998

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the decarboxylative condensation of pimeloyl-[acyl-carrier protein] and L-alanine to produce 8-amino-7-oxononanoate (AON), [acyl-carrier protein], and carbon dioxide. Can also use pimeloyl-CoA instead of pimeloyl-ACP as substrate, but it is believed that pimeloyl-ACP rather than pimeloyl-CoA is the physiological substrate of BioF.
