Gene Description

GLDC is the P protein (glycine decarboxylase) of the mitochondrial glycine cleavage system (GCS), a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent homodimeric enzyme (EC 1.4.4.2) encoded on human chromosome 9. It catalyses the first, committed step of glycine catabolism: it binds the alpha-amino group of glycine through its PLP cofactor (covalently attached as a Schiff base to Lys754), decarboxylates the glycine to release CO2, and transfers the residual aminomethyl moiety to the lipoic-acid (lipoamide) arm of the H protein (GCSH) rather than releasing free methylamine. Together with the T protein (AMT), the L protein (DLD) and the H protein (GCSH), GLDC forms the glycine cleavage system, the major route of glycine degradation, which links glycine to one-carbon/folate metabolism and serine biosynthesis. The mature protein localises to the mitochondrial matrix after cleavage of an N-terminal transit peptide. Loss-of-function variants in GLDC are the most common cause (~80% of cases) of nonketotic hyperglycinemia (glycine encephalopathy), an autosomal recessive disorder characterised by accumulation of glycine in body fluids, neonatal seizures and severe encephalopathy.

ACCEPT
Summary: Core molecular function. The phylogenetic (IBA) annotation to glycine dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) activity is the correct, informative MF for the GCS P protein and is corroborated by experimental and TAS evidence in this same gene.
Reason: GLDC is the P protein of the glycine cleavage system and catalyses the PLP-dependent decarboxylation of glycine (EC 1.4.4.2). This IBA is concordant with the EXP, IDA and TAS annotations to the same term.

Summary: Core biological process. This is the most specific process term for GLDC: glycine decarboxylation carried out as the P-protein step of the glycine cleavage system.

Summary: Correct subcellular localisation. GLDC acts in the mitochondrion (matrix). This IBA is consistent with IDA, HTP and TAS localisation evidence.
Reason: GLDC carries an N-terminal mitochondrial transit peptide and the GCS operates in the mitochondrial matrix; mitochondrion is the correct compartment, though the matrix (GO:0005759) is more precise.

GO:0016829 lyase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
REMOVE
Summary: Wrong-branch electronic mapping. GLDC is classified EC 1.4.4.2, an oxidoreductase acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors (glycine dehydrogenase (decarboxylating)); it is not a lyase. The lyase term derives from the broad PLP-fold InterPro signature IPR001597 (aromatic-amino-acid beta-eliminating lyase / threonine aldolase), which over-generalises to a lyase MF that does not apply to this enzyme.
Reason: This is a demonstrably incorrect electronic (IEA/InterPro) MF inference: the enzyme's molecular function is glycine dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) activity (GO:0004375, an oxidoreductase, EC 1.4.4.2), captured accurately by other annotations. Lyase activity is the wrong ontology branch for this protein and is safe to remove per the IEA-mis-mapping criterion.

Reason: UniProt records GLDC as a homodimer (by similarity to rat P15505), and the PLP-dependent active site is formed in the dimer. Real but ancillary to the catalytic MF.

Reason: GLDC binds pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (the phosphorylated, active cofactor), attached as N6-(pyridoxal phosphate)lysine at Lys754; the specific, accurate term is GO:0030170 pyridoxal phosphate binding rather than the more general pyridoxal binding.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Likely over-annotation / mis-assignment. GLDC is a PLP-dependent glycine decarboxylase (EC 1.4.4.2); it does not act as an electron carrier. Within the glycine cleavage system, the redox/electron-transfer role belongs to the L protein (DLD, dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase, FAD-dependent), not to the P protein. The cited reference (Sakakibara et al. 1990) is about a genomic deletion of the glycine decarboxylase gene in an NKH patient and provides no support for an electron transfer activity.
Reason: The molecular function of GLDC is glycine dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) activity, captured by multiple experimental and electronic annotations; electron transfer activity is not a function of the P protein and is not supported by the cited paper. Flagged as over-annotated rather than removed because it is an author-statement (TAS) annotation whose full text was not reviewed.

Summary: Author-stated support for the core catalytic function: expression of normal human P-protein cDNA in COS7 cells reconstituted glycine decarboxylase activity comparable to human liver, whereas the NKH mutant (Phe756del) had none.

  GLDC is the P protein (glycine decarboxylase) of the mitochondrial glycine
  cleavage system (GCS), a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent homodimeric
  enzyme (EC 1.4.4.2) encoded on human chromosome 9. It catalyses the first,
  committed step of glycine catabolism: it binds the alpha-amino group of glycine
  through its PLP cofactor (covalently attached as a Schiff base to Lys754),
  decarboxylates the glycine to release CO2, and transfers the residual
  aminomethyl moiety to the lipoic-acid (lipoamide) arm of the H protein (GCSH)
  rather than releasing free methylamine. Together with the T protein (AMT), the
  L protein (DLD) and the H protein (GCSH), GLDC forms the glycine cleavage
  system, the major route of glycine degradation, which links glycine to
  one-carbon/folate metabolism and serine biosynthesis. The mature protein
  localises to the mitochondrial matrix after cleavage of an N-terminal transit
  peptide. Loss-of-function variants in GLDC are the most common cause (~80% of
  cases) of nonketotic hyperglycinemia (glycine encephalopathy), an autosomal
  recessive disorder characterised by accumulation of glycine in body fluids,

      Wrong-branch electronic mapping. GLDC is classified EC 1.4.4.2, an
      oxidoreductase acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors (glycine dehydrogenase
      (decarboxylating)); it is not a lyase. The lyase term derives from the broad
      PLP-fold InterPro signature IPR001597 (aromatic-amino-acid beta-eliminating
      lyase / threonine aldolase), which over-generalises to a lyase MF that does
      not apply to this enzyme.
    action: REMOVE
    reason: >-
      This is a demonstrably incorrect electronic (IEA/InterPro) MF inference: the
      enzyme's molecular function is glycine dehydrogenase (decarboxylating)
      activity (GO:0004375, an oxidoreductase, EC 1.4.4.2), captured accurately by
      other annotations. Lyase activity is the wrong ontology branch for this
      protein and is safe to remove per the IEA-mis-mapping criterion.
