Abstract:
S-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase is a key enzyme for the synthesis of polyamines in mammals, plants and many other species that use aminopropyltransferases for this pathway. It catalyses the formation of S-adenosyl-1-(methylthio)-3-propylamine (decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine), which is used as the aminopropyl donor. This is the sole function of decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine. Its content is therefore kept very low and is regulated by variation in the activity of S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase according to the need for polyamine synthesis. All S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylases

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The fusel alcohols 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, and 2-methyl-propanol are important flavor compounds in yeast-derived food products and beverages. The formation of these compounds from branched-chain amino acids is generally assumed to occur via the Ehrlich pathway, which involves the concerted action of a branched-chain transaminase, a decarboxylase, and an alcohol dehydrogenase. Partially purified preparations of pyruvate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.1 ) have been reported to catalyze the decarboxylation of the branched-chain 2-oxo acids formed upon transamination of leucine,

Pyruvate decarboxylase from Zymomonas mobilis is inhibited by 3-hydroxypyruvate, which can also act as a poor substrate.

The extent of inactivation depends upon the pH and upon the concentration of 3-hydroxypyruvate. After partial inactivation and removal of unchanged 3-hydroxypyruvate, enzymic activity recovers slowly.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Catabolism of amino acids via the Ehrlich pathway involves transamination to the corresponding α-keto acids, followed by decarboxylation to an aldehyde and then reduction to an alcohol. Alternatively, the aldehyde may be oxidized to an acid. This pathway is functional in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, since during growth in glucose-limited chemostat cultures with phenylalanine as the sole nitrogen source, phenylethanol and phenylacetate were produced in quantities that accounted for all of the phenylalanine consumed. Our objective was to identify the structural gene(s) required for the dec

Abstract:
The oxygen-sensitive 4-hydroxybenzoate decarboxylase (4OHB-DC) activity from a phenol-carboxylating coculture, consisting of Clostridium-like strain 6 and an unidentified strain 7, was studied. Assays done with cell extracts showed that the optimal pH was 5.0-6.5 and the Kmwas 5.4 mM. The activity decreased by 50% in the presence of 5 mM EDTA, and it was restored and even enhanced by the addition of Mg++, Mn++, Zn++, or Ca++. After purification, the molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated as 420 kDa by gel chromatography, and as 119 kDa by SDS-PAGE, suggesting a homotetrameric structure. It
