Abstract excerpt
The membrane-bound beta-subunit of oxaloacetate decarboxylase from Klebsiella pneumoniae catalyzes the decarboxylation of carboxybiotin, which is coupled to Na(+) translocation and consumes a periplasmically derived proton. Upon site-directed mutagenesis of 20 polar and/or conserved residues within putative membrane-integral regions, the specific oxaloacetate decarboxylase activities were reduced to various...
