摘要：

Biotin synthase catalyses the last step of the biosynthesis of biotin in microorganisms and plants. The active protein isolated from Bacillus sphaericus and Escherichia coli contains an iron-sulphur (FeS) cluster. The native enzymes mere depleted of their iron and inorganic sulphide and the resulting apoenzymes mere chemically reconstituted with FeCl3 and Na-2[S-34] to give labelled ((FeS)-S-34) enzymes. These enzymes were functional and when assayed in vitro produced labelled biotin containing about 65% of S-34. These data strongly support the hypothesis that the sulphur of biotin is derived from the (FeS) centre of the enzyme. (C) 1998 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
