Gene name

bioW

FUNCTION: Transforms pimelate into pimeloyl-CoA (By similarity).

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + 6-carboxyhexanoate + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + 6-carboxyhexanoyl-CoA.

COFACTOR: Magnesium (By similarity).

PATHWAY: Metabolic intermediate metabolism; pimeloyl-CoA biosynthesis; pimeloyl-CoA from pimelate: step 1/1.

SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the bioW family.
