malonyl-acyl carrier protein O-methyltransferase BioC This enzyme, which is found in biotin biosynthetic gene clusters in proteobacteria, firmicutes, green-sulfur bacteria, fusobacterium and bacteroides, carries out an enzymatic step prior to the formation of pimeloyl-CoA, namely O-methylation of the malonyl group preferentially while on acyl carrier protein. The enzyme is recognizable as a methyltransferase by homology. [Biosynthesis of cofactors, prosthetic groups, and carriers, Biotin]
