malonyl-[acyl-carrier protein] O-methyltransferase

Involved in an early step of biotin biosynthesis in Gram-negative bacteria. This enzyme catalyses the transfer of a methyl group to the ω-carboxyl group of malonyl-[acyl-carrier protein] forming a methyl ester. The methyl ester is recognized by the fatty acid synthetic enzymes, which process it via the fatty acid elongation cycle to give pimelyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] methyl ester. While the enzyme can also accept malonyl-CoA, it has a much higher activity with malonyl-[acyl-carrier protein]
