| UniProt functional annotation for P16932 | |||
| UniProt code: P16932. |
| Organism: | Burkholderia cepacia (Pseudomonas cepacia). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Betaproteobacteria; Burkholderiales; Burkholderiaceae; Burkholderia; Burkholderia cepacia complex. | |
| Function: | The dialkylglycine decarboxylase is of interest because it normally catalyzes both decarboxylation and amino transfer. It may be more properly described as a decarboxylating aminotransferase rather than an aminotransferring decarboxylase. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=2,2-dialkylglycine + H(+) + pyruvate = CO2 + dialkyl ketone + L-alanine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:16073, ChEBI:CHEBI:15361, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:16526, ChEBI:CHEBI:18044, ChEBI:CHEBI:57689, ChEBI:CHEBI:57972; EC=4.1.1.64; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=pyridoxal 5'-phosphate; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:597326; | |
| Subunit: | Homotetramer. | |
| Miscellaneous: | The enzyme may have evolved to use the rare dialkylglycines of cosmic origin, or it may be part of a metabolic pathway for breaking down cytotoxic peptides and the constituent amino acids. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the class-III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
