  Domain Name: PLPDE_III_ADC
Type III Pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP)-Dependent Enzyme Arginine Decarboxylase. This subfamily includes plants and biosynthetic prokaryotic arginine decarboxylases (ADC, EC 4.1.1.19). ADC is involved in the biosynthesis of putrescine, which is the precursor of aliphatic polyamines in many organisms. It catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-arginine to agmatine, which is then hydrolyzed to putrescine by agmatinase. ADC is homologous to eukaryotic ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and diaminopimelate decarboxylase (DapDC), which are fold type III PLP-dependent enzymes that contain an N-terminal PLP-binding TIM-barrel domain and a C-terminal beta-sandwich domain, similar to bacterial alanine racemases. Homodimer formation and the presence of both PLP and Mg2+ cofactors may be required for catalytic activity. Prokaryotic ADCs (biodegradative), which are fold type I PLP-dependent enzymes, are not included in this family.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.

Tips:
 If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position.

 The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs.

 Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below.
