Gene Description

MccA is the biotin-carboxylase and biotin-carrier alpha subunit of bacterial 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase. In the assembled MCC complex it uses ATP and bicarbonate to carboxylate its covalently attached biotin, enabling MccB to carboxylate 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA during distal L-leucine catabolism.

Existing Annotations Review

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0000166 nucleotide binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000104
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Nucleotide binding is implicit in ATP-dependent biotin carboxylation.
Reason: Retain this valid but broad binding activity as non-core beside the enzyme-specific biotin carboxylase activity.
GO:0004075 biotin carboxylase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: Correct alpha-subunit catalytic activity.
Reason: MccA contains the biotin-carboxylase and biotin-carrier domains.
Supporting Evidence:

InterPro; IPR011764; Biotin_carboxylation_dom.
GO:0005524 ATP binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: ATP binding is mechanistically correct but redundant.
Reason: ATP binding is a genuine co-annotatable function of the ATP-grasp biotin-carboxylase domain, but is not the core reaction.
GO:0046872 metal ion binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Generic metal binding does not identify the MCC reaction role.
Reason: Retain the mechanistically compatible cofactor-binding annotation as non-core; the specific catalytic activity provides the useful reaction annotation.
GO:0009374 biotin binding
ISM
file:PSEPK/mccA/mccA-uniprot.txt
NEW
Summary: MccA contains the biotin-carrier domain and the conserved biotin attachment motif.
Reason: Covalently attached biotin is the mobile carboxyl carrier between the alpha-subunit biotin-carboxylase site and the beta-subunit carboxyltransferase site.

NEW
Summary: MccA supplies biotin carboxylase and carrier functions to the two-subunit MCC holoenzyme.
Reason: The complete substrate-specific reaction is a property of assembled MccA-MccB, so contributes_to is more precise than enables for the alpha subunit.

Summary: MccA is the biotin-carboxylase/carrier alpha subunit of bacterial MCC.

    The two subunits of MCase corresponded to liuB/liuD

Covalently binds biotin on its carrier domain to shuttle the activated carboxyl group between the two catalytic sites of the MCC complex.

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Reconstitute MccA with MccB and quantify ATP-dependent 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylation; compare against MccA alone.
