A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. A component of the glycine cleavage system, which is composed of four components that only loosely associate: the P protein (EC 1.4.4.2), the T protein (EC 2.1.2.10, aminomethyltransferase), the L protein (EC 1.8.1.4, dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase) and the lipoyl-bearing H protein . Previously known as glycine synthase.

Previously known as glycine synthase.
P-protein is the actual glycine-decarboxylating enzyme and uses pyridoxal 5'-phosphate as a cofactor. CO2 is released in the reaction and the residual aminomethyl group is bound to the oxidized lipoamide arm of H-protein

glycine decarboxylase is a major enzyme that is involved in the C1 metabolism of all organisms and in the photorespiratory pathway of plants and cyanobacteria. GCS is also essential in the plant photorespiratory C2 cycle, which salvages 2-phosphoglycolate resulting from the oxygenation reaction catalysed by ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase under atmospheric conditions. The complete GCS reaction cycle requires the cooperation of three different enzymes, P-protein, T-protein and L-protein, and the small heat-stable H-protein, pathway overview

purified recombinant His-tagged enzyme, hanging drop vapour diffusion, 18°C, 0.004 ml of 40/mg/ml protein in 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.8, 50 mM sodium chloride, and 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, are mixed with 0.004 ml of reservoir solution containing 100 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.75, 15-25% PEG 3350, 0.15-0.3 M CsCl or LiCl and 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, equilibration over 1 ml reservoir solution, method optimization, 1-3 days, streak-seeding at 20°C, X-ray diffraction structure determination and analysis at 2.1 A resolution
mutant affected in T-protein subunit of GDC shows similar CO2-dependent regulation as wild-type cells. Glycine decarboxylase knockout mutants exposed to low CO2 accumulate far more glycine and lysine than wild-type cells or mutants with inactivated glycerate pathway
mutation of the genes for GDC subunits P, T, or H protein. No changes in growth, pigmentation, or photosynthesis in the GDC subunit mutants, regardless of whether or not cultivated at ambient or high CO2 concentrations. Mutation of GDC leads to an increased glycine/serine ratio in the mutant cells. Supplementation of the medium with low glycine concentrations is toxic for the mutants but not for wild-type cells
