EC 4.3.99.2 Details
EC number
4.3.99.2
Accepted name
carboxybiotin decarboxylase
Reaction
a carboxybiotinyl-[protein] + n Na+in + H+out = CO2 + a biotinyl-[protein] + n Na+out (n = 1–2)
Other name(s)
MadB, carboxybiotin protein decarboxylase
Systematic name
carboxybiotinyl-[protein] carboxy-lyase
Comment
The integral membrane protein MadB from the anaerobic bacterium Malonomonas rubra is a component of the multienzyme complex EC 4.1.1.89, biotin-dependent malonate decarboxylase. The free energy of the decarboxylation reaction is used to pump Na+ out of the cell. The enzyme is a member of the Na+-translocating decarboxylase family, other members of which include EC 4.1.1.3 (oxaloacetate decarboxylase) and EC 4.1.1.41 (methylmalonyl-CoA decarboxylase) [2].
