AccessionGenProp0869
Namedecarboxylation/antiport proton-motive cycle: arginine-agmatine
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionThis Genome Property represents a proton-motive cycle. A cycle of decarboxylating an arginine to agmatine plus CO2, then exchanging the cytosolic agmatine for an extracellular arginine, has the net effect of consuming one proton. The Chlamydophila pneumoniae system, unlike the E. coli system, has a third component, and outer membrane porin. Analogous systems for antiport of substrates related by decarboxylation include, for example, the pairing of an asparate decarboxylase with an aspartate-alanine antiporter, as in Tetragenococcus halophila.
