General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | certain enterobacteria exert evolutionary pressure on the lysine decarboxylase towards the macromolecular cage-like assembly with AAA+ ATPase RavA, implying that this complex may have an important function under particular stress conditions. The C-terminal beta-sheet of a lysine decarboxylase is a highly conserved signature allowing to distinguish between LdcI and LdcC. RavA is binding to LdcI, but is not capable of binding to LdcC, LDC sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analysis | Escherichia coli |

physiological function | the inducible lysine decarboxylase LdcI (or CadA) is an important enterobacterial acid stress response enzyme whereas constitutive lysine decarboxylase LdcC is its close paralogue, thought to play mainly a metabolic role. Escherichia coli AAA+ ATPase RavA, involved in multiple stress response pathways, tightly interacts with enzyme LdcI. A unique macromolecular cage is formed by two decamers (two double pentameric rings) of the Escherichia coli LdcI and five hexamers of the AAA+ ATPase RavA (UniProt ID P31473) counteracting acid stress under starvation. LdcI is bound to the LARA domain of RavA | Escherichia coli |
