The Effect of myo-Inositol on Pyruvate Decarboxylase

open access: bronzeTHE 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

Inactivation of pyruvate decarboxylase by 3-hydroxypyruvate [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1990
Pyruvate decarboxylase from Zymomonas mobilis is inhibited by 3-hydroxypyruvate, which can also act as a poor substrate. While catalysing the decarboxylation of this alternative substrate, the enzyme undergoes a progressive but partial inactivation over several hours.

Pyruvic decarboxylase inhibition in ketoaciduria [PDF]

open access: yesPediatric Research, 1971
A patient with intermittent episodes of cerebellar ataxia has been described (Pediat. 43:1025, 1969). The child excreted large amounts of urinary pyruvic acid during an episode which was studied in detail. Fibrobalst tissue culture cells were assayed for pyruvic decarboxylase and found to contain a low concentration of this enzyme.

The Bifunctional Pyruvate Decarboxylase/Pyruvate Ferredoxin Oxidoreductase fromThermococcus guaymasensis [PDF]

open access: yesArchaea, 2014
The hyperthermophilic archaeonThermococcus guaymasensisproduces ethanol as a metabolic end product, and an alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) catalyzing the reduction of acetaldehyde to ethanol has been purified and characterized. However, the enzyme catalyzing the formation of acetaldehyde has not been identified.

Identifying Early-Stage Changes in Volatile Organic Compounds of Ceratocystis fimbriata Ellis & Halsted-Infected Sweet Potatoes (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam) Using Headspace Gas Chromatography-Ion Mobility Spectrometry

open access: yesFoods, 2023
Ceratocystis fimbriata Ellis & Halsted is the pathogen causing black rot in sweet potatoes that can lead to flavor change and toxin release. This study detected the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of C.

The relationships between transketolase, yeast pyruvate decarboxylase and pyruvate dehydrogenase of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1993
The amino acid sequences of four thiamine pyrophosphate‐requiring enzymes were aligned with the published amino acid sequence of the transketolase of Hansenula polymorpha. Sequences of the combined α and β subunits of the E1 enzyme of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complexes of Homo sapiens and Bacillus stearothermophilus aligned well with the ...

Extreme anoxia tolerance in crucian carp and goldfish through neofunctionalization of duplicated genes creating a new ethanol-producing pyruvate decarboxylase pathway

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Without oxygen, most vertebrates die within minutes as they cannot meet cellular energy demands with anaerobic metabolism. However, fish of the genus Carassius (crucian carp and goldfish) have evolved a specialized metabolic system that allows them to ...

Decarboxylation of Pyruvate to Acetaldehyde for Ethanol Production by Hyperthermophiles

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2013
Pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC encoded by pdc) is a thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP)-containing enzyme responsible for the conversion of pyruvate to acetaldehyde in many mesophilic organisms.

Thermostable and O2-Insensitive Pyruvate Decarboxylases from Thermoacidophilic Archaea Catalyzing the Production of Acetaldehyde

open access: yesBiology, 2022
Pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) is a key enzyme involved in ethanol fermentation, and it catalyzes the decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetaldehyde and CO2.
