	4.1.1.64
Description	2,2-dialkylglycine decarboxylase (pyruvate)
Alternative names	alpha-dialkylamino acid transaminase; L-alanine-alpha-ketobutyrate aminotransferase; DGD.
Catalyzed reaction	2,2-dialkylglycine + pyruvate = dialkyl ketone + CO(2) + L-alanine.
Cofactor	Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments	-!- Acts on 2-amino-2-methylpropanoate (i.e. 2-methylalanine), 2-amino-2-methylbutanoate and 1-aminocyclopentanecarboxylate.
	Mechanistically, dialkylglycine decarboxylase is a very peculiar PLP-dependent enzyme, which catalyzes both decarboxylation and transamination in its normal catalytic cycle. Enzymes with this activity occur sporadically in bacteria and fungi, but their biological role is unclear.
