Waterlogging Tolerance of Actinidia valvata Dunn Is Associated with High Activities of Pyruvate Decarboxylase, Alcohol Dehydrogenase and Antioxidant Enzymes [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.) is susceptible to waterlogging stress. Although abundant wild germplasm resources exist among Actinidia plants for improving the waterlogging tolerance of kiwifruit cultivars, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown ...

Molecular Mechanism of Ethanol Fermentation Inhibition via Protein Tyrosine Nitration of Pyruvate Decarboxylase by Reactive Nitrogen Species in Yeast [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Protein tyrosine nitration (PTN), in which tyrosine (Tyr) residues on proteins are converted into 3-nitrotyrosine (NT), is one of the post-translational modifications mediated by reactive nitrogen species (RNS). Many recent studies have reported that PTN

Crystal structure of pyruvate decarboxylase fromZymobacter palmae [PDF]
Acta Crystallographica Section F Structural Biology Communications, 2016 Pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC; EC 4.1.1.1) is a thiamine pyrophosphate- and Mg2+ion-dependent enzyme that catalyses the non-oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide. It is rare in bacteria, but is a key enzyme in homofermentative metabolism, where ethanol is the major product.

The Effect of myo-Inositol on Pyruvate Decarboxylase
THE JOURNAL OF VITAMINOLOGY, 1969 Saccharomyces carlsbergensis 4228 (ATCC 9080) was cultivated for 24 hours in four different media containing 0, 50, 150 and 500μg of myo-inositol per 20ml. The growth of the yeast and the specific activity of pyruvate decarboxylase extracted from the respective cell preparations were found to be proportional to the amount of inositol in the medium. The
