The Escherichia coli Biotin Regulatory System: BirA catalyzes bio-5`-AMP synthesis from biotin and ATP, and the resulting holoBirA either channels biotin to metabolism by linking it to BCCP or homodimerizes and binds sequence-specifically to the biotin operator to repress transcription of the biotin biosynthetic operon.
