Three-component lysine/ornithine decarboxylation system in Lactobacillus saerimneri 30a.
Lactic acid bacteria play a pivotal role in many food fermentations and sometimes represent a health threat due to the ability of some strains to produce biogenic amines that accumulate in foods and cause trouble following ingestion. These strains carry specific enzymatic systems catalyzing the uptake of amino acid precursors (e.g., ornithine and lysine), the decarboxylation inside the cell, an...
متن کاملIdentification and molecular cloning of glutamate decarboxylase gene from Lactobacillus casei
Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) possesses several physiological functions such as neurotransmission, induction of hypotension, diuretic and tranquilizer effects. Production of GABA-enriched products by lactic acid bacteria has been a focus of different researches in recent years because of their safety and health-promoting specifities. In this study, glutamate decarboxylase (gad) gene of a loca...
متن کاملStructure and cooperativity of a T-state mutant of histidine decarboxylase from Lactobacillus 30a.
Histidine decarboxylase (HDC) from Lactobacillus 30a converts histidine to histamine, a process that enables the bacteria to maintain the optimum pH range for cell growth. HDC is regulated by pH; it is active at low pH and inactive at neutral to alkaline pH. The X-ray structure of HDC at pH 8 revealed that a helix was disordered, resulting in the disruption of the substrate-binding site. The HD...
متن کاملmolecular gene cloning and sequencing of glutamate decarboxylase gene from lactobacillus delbrueckii and lactobacillus reuteri
glutamate decarboxylase enzyme produces γ-aminobutyric acid (gaba) in a non-reversible decarboxylation reaction of glutamate. gaba is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter of the brain and it is also present at high concentration in other organs such as pancreatic islets. gaba has effects on blood pressure, diabetes, inflammation, sleeplessness and depression. some bacteria such as lactobacillus ...
