Decarboxylation of Pyruvate to Acetaldehyde for Ethanol Production by Hyperthermophiles [PDF]

Biomolecules, 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.

Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate by 1-deoxy-d-xyulose 5-phosphate synthase, a central metabolic enzyme in bacteria [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2018
The underexploited antibacterial target 1-deoxy-d-xyluose 5-phosphate (DXP) synthase catalyzes the thiamin diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent formation of DXP from pyruvate and d-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (d-GAP).

Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Is Involved in the Decarboxylation of Aspartate in the Bundle Sheath of Maize1 [PDF]

, 1999
We recently showed that maize (Zea mays L.) leaves contain appreciable amounts of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK; R.P. Walker, R.M. Acheson, L.I. Técsi, R.C. Leegood [1997] Aust J Plant Physiol 24: 459–468).

Heterogeneous Expression and Subcellular Localization of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex in Prostate Cancer

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
BackgroundPyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex converts pyruvate into acetyl-CoA by pyruvate decarboxylation, which drives energy metabolism during cell growth, including prostate cancer (PCa) cell growth.

A Thiamin-bound, Pre-decarboxylation Reaction Intermediate Analogue in the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase E1 Subunit Induces Large Scale Disorder-to-Order Transformations in the Enzyme and Reveals Novel Structural Features in the Covalently Bound Adduct [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2006
The crystal structure of the E1 component from the Escherichia coli pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex (PDHc) has been determined with phosphonolactylthiamin diphosphate (PLThDP) in its active site. PLThDP serves as a structural and electrostatic

C2-α-Lactylthiamin Diphosphate Is an Intermediate on the Pathway of Thiamin Diphosphate-dependent Pyruvate Decarboxylation

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004
Thiamin diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent decarboxylations are usually assumed to proceed by a series of covalent intermediates, the first one being the C2-trimethylthiazolium adduct with pyruvate, C2-α-lactylthiamin diphosphate (LThDP).

Aqueous pyruvate partly dissociates under deep ultraviolet irradiation but is resilient to near ultraviolet excitation

Nature Communications
The deep ultraviolet photochemistry of aqueous pyruvate is believed to have been essential to the origin of life, and near ultraviolet excitation of pyruvate in aqueous aerosols is assumed to contribute significantly to the photochemistry of the Earth’s ...

Aldehyde-based Activation of C2α-lactylthiamin Diphosphate Decarboxylation on Bacterial 1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate Synthase. [PDF]

Chembiochem
1‐Deoxy‐d‐xylulose 5‐phosphate synthase (DXPS) catalyzes the thiamin diphosphate (ThDP)‐dependent formation of DXP from pyruvate (donor substrate) and d‐glyceraldehyde 3‐phosphate (d‐GAP, acceptor substrate) in bacterial central metabolism.
