    In vivo resolution of conflicting in vitro results: synthesis of biotin from dethiobiotin does not require pyridoxal phosphate.

    Abstract

    The source of the biotin sulfur atom remains a contested point in studies of biotin synthase (BioB) in vitro. Recent reports that BioB has an intrinsic pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)-dependent cysteine desulfurase activity were tested by depleting Escherichia coli cells of PLP. The BioB-dependent conversion of dethiobiotin to biotin proceeded in these cells irrespective of the presence or absence of PLP.
