Both N- and C-termini are essential for biotinylation of carboxylases by HCS 705752 6.3.4.10 additional information the N-terminal domain has a crucial effect on the enzymatic activity. The domain interacts not only with biotin acceptor protein, but also with the catalytic domain of hHCS. It recognizes the charged region of biotin acceptor protein, distinctly from the recognition by the catalytic domain. Human HCS shows a high degree of sequence homology in the catalytic domain with bacterial biotin ligases such as Escherichia coli BirA, but differs in the length and sequence of the N-terminus 703738
