Comments
Comment typeDescription
FunctionThis protein is a component of the acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase complex; first, biotin carboxylase catalyzes the carboxylation of the carrier protein and then the transcarboxylase transfers the carboxyl group to form malonyl-CoA.
PathwayLipid metabolism; fatty acid biosynthesis.
Sequence CautionSequence=CAC01752.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
SimilarityContains 1 biotinyl-binding domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU01066, ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationPlastid, chloroplast {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11299381}.
SubunitAcetyl-CoA carboxylase is a heterohexamer composed of biotin carboxyl carrier protein, biotin carboxylase and 2 subunits each of ACCase subunit alpha and ACCase plastid-coded subunit beta (accD).
Tissue SpecificityPrimarily expressed in 7 to 10 days after flowering seeds at levels approximately 2-fold less abundant than BCCP1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11299381}.
