Involved in an early step of biotin biosynthesis in Gram-negative bacteria. This enzyme catalyses the transfer of a methyl group to the omega-carboxyl group of malonyl-[acyl-carrier protein] forming a methyl ester. The methyl ester is recognized by the fatty acid synthetic enzymes, which process it via the fatty acid elongation cycle to give pimelyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] methyl ester . While the enzyme can also accept malonyl-CoA, it has a much higher activity with malonyl-[acyl-carrier protein]

Structural basis of O-methylation of (2-heptyl-)1-hydroxyquinolin-4(1H)-one and related compounds by the heterocyclic toxin methyltransferase Rv0560c of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
the DELTAbioC deletion mutant is only able to grow in biotin supplemented medium. Also supplementation with pimelic acid, and putative intermediates in the pathway, the enoyl, 3-keto and 3-hydroxy derivatives of the monomethyl ester of glutarate and the 3-keto and 3-hydroxy derivatives of the monomethyl ester of pimelate, allow growth of the mutant strain in the absence of biotin, but the 2-keto, 2-hydroxy and 4-keto derivatives, as well as monomethyl esters of C4, C6, C8, C9 and C11 dicarboxylates, do not, overview
the pimeloyl moiety of biotin is synthesized by a modified fatty acid synthetic pathway in which the omega-carboxyl group of a malonyl-thioester is methylated by BioC which allows recognition of this atypical substrate by the fatty acid synthetic enzymes. The malonyl-thioester methyl ester enters fatty acid synthesis as the primer and undergoes two reiterations of the fatty acid elongation cycle to give pimeloyl-acyl carrier protein methyl ester which is hydrolyzed to pimeloyl-ACP and methanol by BioH
deletion and complementation analysis of the biotin gene cluster. Mutants in BioC are blocked early in the biosynthetic pathway and complement mutants in bioA, bioB, and bioD
in biotin synthesis, the pimeloyl moiety is synthesized by a modified fatty acid synthetic pathway in which the omega-carboxyl group of a malonyl-thioester is methylated by BioC, which allows recognition of this atypical substrate by the fatty acid synthetic enzymes. The malonyl-thioester methyl ester enters fatty acid synthesis as the primer and undergoes two reiterations of the fatty acid elongation cycle to give pimeloyl-acyl carrier protein methyl ester. Supplementation of biotin-free medium with any of malonic, glutaric and pimelic acid monomethyl ester allows for acyl-ACP-synthetase-dependent growth of the bioC deletion strain
the role of BioC is to convert the free carboxyl group of a malonylthioester to its methyl ester by transfer of a methyl group from SAM. Methylation both cancels the charge of the carboxyl group and provides a methyl carbon to mimic the methyl ends of normal fatty acyl chains

construction of the DELTAbioC deletion mutant, that is only able to grow in biotin and derivative supplemented medium.

the biotin operon contains the five biotin operon genes, bioA, B, F, C, and D, and an open reading frame of unknown function. The operon is negatively regulated and divergently transcribed from a control region between the bioA and bioB genes
