General annotation (Comments)

Function

Decarboxylates both L-lysine and L-ornithine with similar catalytic efficiency.

Catalytic activity

L-lysine = cadaverine + CO2.

L-ornithine = putrescine + CO2.

Cofactor

Pyridoxal phosphate.

Enzyme regulation

Inhibited competitively by both alpha-difluoromethyllysine and alpha-difluoromethylornithine.

Pathway

Amine and polyamine biosynthesis; putrescine biosynthesis via L-ornithine pathway; putrescine from L-ornithine: step 1/1.

Subunit structure

Homodimer.

Miscellaneous

Mutagen studies showed that it is possible to convert S.ruminantium LDC to an enzyme with a preference for decarboxylating L-ornithine when five amino acid residues (Ala-44, Gly-45, Val-46, Pro-54 and Ser-322) were replaced with the corresponding ones found in mouse ODC.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the Orn/Lys/Arg decarboxylase class-II family.

Biophysicochemical properties

Kinetic parameters:

KM=1.5 mM for L-lysine

KM=0.96 mM for L-ornithine
