TLDR
Evidence is presented which rules out the possibility that this phenomenon is due to an oxidative deamination, and the reaction cannot be simply a decarboxylation-dependent transamination, using the coenzyme as an amino group acceptor.

Transaminations catalysed by brain glutamate decarboxylase.

TL;DR: The transamination was reversible, and apoenzyme could be reconstituted to holoenzyme by reverse transamination with succinic semialdehyde and pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate, suggesting that the decarboxylation step is not entirely rate-limiting in the normal mechanism.

Reaction Specificity of Native and Nicked 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine Decarboxylase *

TL;DR: It is suggested that native Dopa decarboxylase can exist as an equilibrium among “open,” “half-open” and “closed” forms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inactivation of brain glutamate decarboxylase and the effects of adenosine 5'-triphosphate and inorganic phosphate.

TL;DR: Glutamate-promoted inactivation, its enhancement by ATP, and the opposition to inactivation by pyridoxal-P and Pi appear to be important in the regulation of glutamate decarboxylase.

Mechanism-based Inactivation of Dopa Decarboxylase by Serotonin

TL;DR: Findings indicate that 5-HT is both a substrate and a mechanism-based inactivator with a partition ratio for product formation versus inactivation of 21.5:1, and that protection from inactivation by 5- HT was observed in the presence of the active site-directed inhibitor 3,4-dihydroxy-D-phenylalanine.

The enzymatic oxidation of pyridoxine and pyridoxamine phosphates.

TL;DR: In the course of these investigations, a simple photometric method has been developed for the determination of pyridoxal or pyrIDoxal S-phosphate in enzymatic reaction mixtures and it is concluded that the two enzymes are probably identical.

Preparation and properties of a homogeneous aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase from hog kidney

TL;DR: Preparations of hog kidney aromatic l -amino acid decarboxylase have been obtained which are 99% pure as indicated by disc gel electrophoresis, sedimentation, and immunological techniques, and added pyridoxal phosphate stimulated the activity up to fivefold.

Purification and Characterization of 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine Decarboxylase from Pig Kidney

TL;DR: A procedure for 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase from pig kidney purification is described in detail and results are consistent with the existence of at least four coenzyme-apoenzyme complexes, three of them active.
