Pimelyl-(acyl-carrier protein) methyl ester esterase

The enzyme Pimelyl-[acyl-carrier protein] methyl ester esterase (EC 3.1.1.85, BioH; systematic name pimelyl-[acyl-carrier protein] methyl ester hydrolase   catalyses the reaction


 * pimelyl-[acyl-carrier protein] methyl ester + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ pimelyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + methanol

This enzyme takes part in biotin biosynthesis in Gram-negative bacteria.
