abstract The multi-enzyme complex glycine decarboxylase is important for one-carbon metabolism, essential for the photorespiratory glycolate cycle of plants, and comprises four different polypeptides, P-, H-, T-, and L-protein. We report on the production and properties of recombinant P-protein from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis and also describe features of recombinant H-protein from the same organism. The P-protein shows enzymatic activity with lipoylated H-protein and very low activity with H-apoprotein or lipoate as artificial cofactors. Its affinity towards glycine is unaffected by the presence and nature of the methyleneamine acceptor molecule. The cyanobacterial H-protein apparently forms stable dimers.
