Gene name

panD

FUNCTION: Catalyzes the pyruvoyl-dependent decarboxylation of aspartate to produce beta-alanine (By similarity).

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: L-aspartate = beta-alanine + CO(2).

COFACTOR: Pyruvoyl group (By similarity).

PATHWAY: Cofactor biosynthesis; pantothenate biosynthesis; beta-alanine from L-aspartate: step 1/1.

SUBUNIT: Heterooctamer of four alpha and four beta subunits (By similarity).

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm (By similarity).

PTM: Is synthesized initially as an inactive proenzyme, which is activated by self-cleavage at a specific serine bond to produce a beta-subunit with a hydroxyl group at its C-terminus and an alpha-subunit with a pyruvoyl group at its N-terminus (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the panD family.
