Enzyme Information

7.2.4.5
Glutaconyl-CoA decarboxylase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q06700
4-carboxybut-2-enoyl-CoA + Na(+)(Side 1) = but-2-enoyl-CoA + CO(2) + Na(+)(Side 2).
-!- The enzyme from the bacterium Acidaminococcus fermentans is a biotinyl-protein, requires Na(+), and acts as a sodium pump. -!- Prior to the Na(+)-dependent decarboxylation, the carboxylate is transferred to biotin in a Na(+)-independent manner. -!- The conserved lysine, to which biotin forms an amide bond, is located 34 amino acids before the C-terminus, flanked on both sides by two methionine residues, which are conserved in every biotin-dependent enzyme.
