Abstract excerpt
Glutamate decarboxylase is a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent enzyme responsible for the irreversible alpha-decarboxylation of glutamate to yield 4-aminobutyrate. In Escherichia coli, as well as in other pathogenic and nonpathogenic enteric bacteria, this enzyme is a structural component of the glutamate-based acid resistance system responsible for cell survival in extremely acidic conditions (pH < 2.5). The...
