two different forms encoded by genes PdxK and PdxY yielding kinase 1 and kinase 2, low activity of kinase 2 suggests that this kinase originally has another substrate but can also utilize pyridoxal
the pdxY gene encodes a novel pyridoxal kinase involved in the salvage pathway of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate biosynthesis. The pyridoxal kinase PdxY and the pyridoxine/pyridoxal/pyridoxamine kinase PdxK are the only physiologically important B6 vitamer kinases in Escherichia coli and their function is confined to the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate salvage pathway

biotransformation of pyridoxal to pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) by pyridoxal kinase (pdxY) supports cadaverine production in Escherichia coli. PLP is an essential cofactor of lysine decarboxylase and the major bottleneck in the cadaverine biosynthesis pathway
experimental resurrection of the last common ancestor of the hydroxymethyl pyrimidine kinase group based on comparison of hydroxymethyl pyrimidine and pyridoxal kinases. Probably the last common ancestor was not able to use pyridoxal under physiological conditions. The pyridoxal kinase activity present in the current bifunctional enzymes must have appeared in a convergent event independently of the pyridoxal kinase activity of pdxY and pdxK genes. Substrate pyridoxal is 8-times less preferred than the phosphorylation of hydroxymethyl pyrimidine by the last ancestor

production of cadaverine (1,5-diaminopentane) can be done by fermentation or direct bioconversion and plays an important role as a building block of polyamides. Lysine decarboxylase (CadA) transforms L-lysine to cadaverine and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) can increase the conversion rate and yield as a cofactor. Biotransformation of cadaverine using whole Escherichia coli cells that overexpress lysine decarboxylase has many merits, such as the rapid conversion of L-lysine to cadaverine, possible application of high concentration reactions up to the molar level, production of less byproduct, and potential reuse of the enzyme by immobilization. But the supply of PLP, an essential cofactor of lysine decarboxylase, is the major bottleneck in this system. Among various PLP systems examined, pyridoxal kinase (PdxY) shows the highest conversion of PL to PLP, resulting in more than 60 % conversion of L-lysine to cadaverine with lysine decarboxylase. Method evaluation and optimization. Interconversion of interconvertion of pyridoxal and pyridoxamine has to be controlled
