sce:BIO4
Genes: 14
SGD DescriptionDethiobiotin synthetase; catalyzes the third step in the biotin biosynthesis pathway; BIO4 is in a cluster of 3 genes (BIO3, BIO4, and BIO5) that mediate biotin synthesis; BIO3 and BIO4 were acquired by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) from bacteria; expression appears to be repressed at low iron levels
