Comments
[?]
| FUNCTION | Specifically catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-arginine to agmatine. Has no S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) activity. |
| CATALYTIC ACTIVITY | Reaction=H(+) + L-arginine = agmatine + CO2; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:17641, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:16526, ChEBI:CHEBI:32682, ChEBI:CHEBI:58145; EC=4.1.1.19; |
| COFACTOR | Name=pyruvate; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:15361; Note=Binds 1 pyruvoyl group covalently per subunit.; |
| PATHWAY | Amine and polyamine biosynthesis; agmatine biosynthesis; agmatine from L-arginine: step 1/1. |
| SUBUNIT | Heterooctamer of four alpha and four beta chains arranged as a tetramer of alpha/beta heterodimers. |
| PTM | Is synthesized initially as an inactive proenzyme. Formation of the active enzyme involves a self-maturation process in which the active site pyruvoyl group is generated from an internal serine residue via an autocatalytic post-translational modification. Two non-identical subunits are generated from the proenzyme in this reaction, and the pyruvate is formed at the N-terminus of the alpha chain, which is derived from the carboxyl end of the proenzyme. The post-translation cleavage follows an unusual pathway, termed non-hydrolytic serinolysis, in which the side chain hydroxyl group of the serine supplies its oxygen atom to form the C-terminus of the beta chain, while the remainder of the serine residue undergoes an oxidative deamination to produce ammonia and the pyruvoyl group blocking the N-terminus of the alpha chain. |
| SIMILARITY | Belongs to the prokaryotic AdoMetDC family. Type 1 subfamily. |

| Comments | Prokaryotic AdoMetDC type 1 subfamily comprises 2 branches, one with S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) activity (see MF_00464) and the other with arginine decarboxylase (ArgDC) activity (this rule, MF_01298). Thermoproteota possess 2 paralogs, one protein from each branch associated with each function. Two nonhomologous classes of pyruvoyl-dependent ArgDC enzymes exist: one found in euryarchaea and some bacteria (pdaD, MF_01404) and the second one described here, found only in Thermoproteota. The Thermoproteota (CENSY, NITMS, THEPD) that do not possess a member of the family described here have homologs of the euryarchaeal ArgDC. |
