Gene Description

ARO10 (YDR380W) encodes a cytosolic thiamine-diphosphate- and Mg2+-dependent 2-oxo-acid decarboxylase of the pyruvate decarboxylase family that catalyses the decarboxylation step of the Ehrlich pathway, converting transaminated amino acids into the corresponding aldehydes, which are then reduced to fusel alcohols or oxidised to fusel acids. Its preferred substrates are the aromatic 2-oxo acids phenylpyruvate, indole-3-pyruvate and 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate, making it the physiologically relevant phenylpyruvate decarboxylase; it also decarboxylates branched-chain (4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate, 3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate) and sulfur-containing (4-methylthio-2-oxobutanoate) 2-oxo acids with high affinity, contributing to isoamyl alcohol, active amyl alcohol and methionol formation. Unlike its paralogs PDC1/5/6 it cannot decarboxylate pyruvate. ARO10 transcription is induced by aromatic amino acids via Aro80 and when phenylalanine, leucine or methionine is the nitrogen source.

Summary: PAINT IBA transferring pyruvate decarboxylase activity from the PDC clade (PDC1/5/6). ARO10 has diverged within this family into an aromatic/branched-chain 2-oxo-acid decarboxylase: purified Aro10 cannot decarboxylate pyruvate, and when each decarboxylase was overexpressed in a quintuple-null strain only Pdc1, Pdc5 and Pdc6 decarboxylated pyruvate and other linear-chain 2-oxo acids.
Reason: Target-specific loss of the ancestral pyruvate activity is experimentally demonstrated.

High-affinity decarboxylation of branched-chain 2-oxo acids (from leucine and isoleucine) contributing to isoamyl and active amyl alcohol formation.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:22904058
    The high affinity of Aro10 identified it as a key contributor to the production of branched-chain and sulfur-containing fusel alcohols.
  • PMID:15933030
    Constitutive expression of ARO10 in this genetic background (strain IMZ002) restored decarboxylase activity with the 2-oxo acids derived from leucine, phenylalanine, and methionine.
  • PMID:10753893
    Apparently, any one of this family of decarboxylases is sufficient to allow the catabolism of isoleucine to active amyl alcohol.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Why does constitutively expressed ARO10 yield no 2-oxo-acid decarboxylase activity in ammonia-grown wild-type cells: post-translational regulation or a required partner protein?

Q: How should GO capture decarboxylation of 4-methylthio-2-oxobutanoate (methionine Ehrlich branch), which has no specific MF term?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Test for post-translational modification or partner proteins of Aro10 by affinity purification from phenylalanine- versus ammonia-grown cells, correlating with decarboxylase activity.
