Pyruvate decarboxylase from Zymomonas mobilis
To study the mechanism of re-activation of Zymomonas mobilis pyruvate decarboxylase apoenzyme by its cofactors thiamin diphosphate and Mg2", cofactor-free enzyme was prepared by dialysis against I mM-dipicolinic acid at pH 8.2. This apoenzyme was then used in a series of experiments that included determination of: (a) the affinity towards one cofactor when the other was present at saturating co...
متن کاملThe Bifunctional Pyruvate Decarboxylase/Pyruvate Ferredoxin Oxidoreductase from Thermococcus guaymasensis
The hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus guaymasensis produces ethanol as a metabolic end product, and an alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) catalyzing the reduction of acetaldehyde to ethanol has been purified and characterized. However, the enzyme catalyzing the formation of acetaldehyde has not been identified. In this study an enzyme catalyzing the production of acetaldehyde from pyruvate was p...
متن کاملRegulating Pyruvate Decarboxylase Synthesis in Yeast
Mutants lacking pyruvate decarboxylase cannot grow on glucose. We have isolated three different complementation groups of extragenic suppressors that suppress mutations in pdc2, a regulatory locus required for the synthesis of the glycolytic enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase. The most frequent of these is a recessive mutation in the structural gene PFKl of the soluble phosphofructokinase. The other...
متن کاملA pyruvate decarboxylase gene from Aspergillus parasiticus.
A gene encoding a putative pyruvate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.1) was isolated from a genomic library of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus parasiticus strain SU-1. The deduced amino acid sequence showed 37% homology to PDC1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although A. parasiticus has an obligate growth requirement for oxygen, it produced ethanol in shake flask cultures indicating a response to anox...
متن کاملPyruvate decarboxylase activity of the acetohydroxyacid synthase of Thermotoga maritima
Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) catalyzes the production of acetolactate from pyruvate. The enzyme from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima has been purified and characterized (kcat ~100 s-1). It was found that the same enzyme also had the ability to catalyze the production of acetaldehyde and CO2 from pyruvate, an activity of pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) at a rate approximatel...
