FDC1 [YDR539W]
Ferulic acid decarboxylase, also active on p-coumaric acid; essential for decarboxylation of aromatic carboxylic acids to corresponding vinyl derivatives; co-overproduction of Pad1p and Fdc1p greatly increases cinnamic acid decarboxylase activity; structure implicates Glu285 as the general base in the nonoxidative decarboxylation reaction catalyzed by Fdc1p; homolog of E. coli UbiD; GFP-fusion protein localizes to cytoplasm
Synonyms: FDC1, FDC1p, B2NIH5, B2NII1, B2NII6 ...
