4.1.1.11
Description Aspartate 1-decarboxylase
Alternative names Aspartate-1-decarboxylase;
Cysteine sulfinate decarboxylase.
Catalyzed reaction L-aspartate = beta-alanine + CO(2).
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate or pyruvate.
Comments The Escherichia coli enzyme contains a pyruvoyl group.
The same activity is carried out by PLP-dependent enzymes in some organisms, such as insects (where the corresponding enzymes also have cysteine sulfinate decarboxylase activity, and have been included in family 4.1.1.29) or Methanocaldococcus jannaschii (activity is carried out by a tyrosine aminotransferase, see family 4.1.1.25 b). Other archaeal enzymes acting on both Aspartate and Glutamate have been included in family asp-glu_1_decarboxylase.
