Sequence statusComplete.
Protein existenceEvidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function

Catalyzes the biosynthesis of agmatine from arginine By similarity. HAMAP-Rule MF_01417

Catalytic activity

L-arginine = agmatine + CO2. HAMAP-Rule MF_01417

Cofactor

Pyridoxal phosphate.

Magnesium.

Pathway

Amine and polyamine biosynthesis; agmatine biosynthesis; agmatine from L-arginine: step 1/1. HAMAP-Rule MF_01417

Subunit structure

Homotetramer.

Subcellular location

Periplasm Ref.1.

Induction

By growth in an acidic enriched medium containing arginine (biodegradative form), by growth in minimal media at neutral pH (biosynthetic). Putrescine and spermidine repress the speA gene and feedback inhibit ADC. HAMAP-Rule MF_01417

Post-translational modification

Processed post-translationally to a 70 kDa mature form. HAMAP-Rule MF_01417

The N-terminus is blocked. HAMAP-Rule MF_01417

Miscellaneous

ADC can be found in two forms: biodegradative and biosynthetic. The biodegradative form may play a role in regulating pH by consuming proteins. HAMAP-Rule MF_01417

Sequence similarities

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

Biophysicochemical properties

pH dependence:

Optimum pH is 8.4. HAMAP-Rule MF_01417
