AccessionGenProp0943
Namepyruvate formate-lyase system
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionThis property consists of the glycine radical enzyme, pyruvate-formate lyase (EC 2.3.1.54, also called formate C-acetyltransferase) and its activating enzyme, [Formate-C-acetyltransferase]-activating enzyme (EC 1.97.1.4). In most Proteobacteria, the gene pair is accompanied by the formate channel gene focA. FocA forms a pentameric channel that can pass formate but not water, and that belongs to the same transporter family as nitrate transporter NirC.
