physiological function
physiological function
-
pyruvate decarboxylase-like enzyme YDL080c appears to be the major route of decarboxylation of alpha-ketoisocaproate to isoamyl alcohol although at least one other unidentified decarboxylase can substitute to a minor extent
physiological function
-
metabolic routes between isoleucine and active amyl alcohol all involve the initial decarboxylation of isoleucine to 2-oxo-3-methylvalerate and subsequent decarboxylation to 2-methylbutanoate. One of the decarboxylases encoded by PDC1, PDC5, PDC6, YDL080c, or YDR380w must be present to allow yeast to utilize 2-oxo-3-methylvalerate. Any one of this family of decarboxylases is sufficient to allow the catabolism of isoleucine to active amyl alcohol; metabolic routes between isoleucine and active amyl alcohol all involve the initial decarboxylation of isoleucine to 2-oxo-3-methylvalerate and subsequent decarboxylation to 2-methylbutanoate. One of the decarboxylases encoded by PDC1, PDC5, PDC6, YDL080c, or YDR380w must be present to allow yeast to utilize 2-oxo-3-methylvalerate. Any one of this family of decarboxylases is sufficient to allow the catabolism of isoleucine to active amyl alcohol. In leucine catabolism, the enzyme encoded by YDL080c is solely responsible for the decarboxylation of alpha-ketoisocaproate, whereas in valine catabolism any one of the isozymes of pyruvate decarboxylase will decarboxylate 2-oxoisovalerate

plants with enzymic activity show enhanced cold tolerance, role as a protective mechanism for growth of plants under sub optimal temperatures

naturally occuring mutations cause an impaired assembly of enzyme in patients with maple syrup urine disease
medicine
-
in patients with maple syrup urine disease, mutations such as R114W-alpha or R220W-alpha cause a strongly reduced binding of thiamin diphosphate, rendering the enzyme inactive
synthesis
-
the enzyme is able to catalyze carboligation reactions with an exceptionally broad substrate range, a feature that makes KdcA a potentially valuable biocatalyst for C-C bond formation, in particular for the enzymatic synthesis of diversely substituted 2-hydroxyketones with high enantioselectivity
synthesis
-
comparison of relevant properties for isobutanol production of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Aro10 and Lactococcus lactis KivD and KdcA genes. Activity in cell extracts reveals a superior Vmax/Km ratio of KdcA for alpha-ketoisovalerate and a wide range of linear and branched-chain 2-oxo acids. KdcA also shows the highest activity with pyruvate which, in engineered strains, can contribute to formation of ethanol as a by-product. During oxygen-limited incubation in the presence of glucose, strains expressing kdcA or kivD show a ca. twofold higher in vivo rate of conversion of alpha-ketoisovalerate into isobutanol than an Aro10-expressing strain. Cell extracts from cultures grown on different nitrogen sources reveal increased activity of constitutively expressed KdcA after growth on both valine and phenylalanine, while KivD and Aro10 activity is only increased after growth on phenylalanine
