If citrate had not been isomerized to isocitrate, this decarboxylation would yield a branched carbon compound, much harder to metabolize.
We can predict that it will react like pyruvate, i.e., that its decarboxylation may yield enough energy to enable the formation of a thioester bond with coenzyme A. And this indeed occurs...

 Evidence for two uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase isoenzymes in human erythrocytes.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
This provides the first evidence that decarboxylations of uroporphyrinogen to coproporphyrinogen are catalyzed by two isoenzymes.
Native polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis of the purified enzyme preparation showed two bands detected by staining either for protein or with uroporphyrin-I. In animals and plants, uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase catalyzes the stepwise decarboxylations of uroporphyrinogen, the precursor of heme and chlorophyll.
Both proteins were able to catalyze all four decarboxylation steps, though the ratios of enzyme activity using octa-, hepta-, hexa- to pentacarboxylic porphyrinogen substrates were distinctly different.

 Abnormal kinetics of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase is an essential enzyme in all organisms and functions in the heme biosynthetic pathway, catalyzing the decarboxylation of the four acetate groups of uroporphyrinogen to form coproporphyrinogen.
This work examines whether the four sequential decarboxylations occur at the same active site, and explores whether hexachlorobenzene-induced porphyria affects the behavior of the enzyme.
In contrast, in experiments with enzyme from rats with hexachlorobenzeneinduced porphyria, the total rate for mixtures was always lower than the reference rate; and a curve with a deep minimum was obtained, indicating that the two reactions occur at functionally different sites, but with cross-inhibition.

Tetrahedral intermediates in thiamin diphosphate-dependent decarboxylations exist as a 1',4'-imino tautomeric form of the coenzyme, unlike the michaelis complex or the free coenzyme.
Tetrahedral intermediates in thiamin diphosphate-dependent decarboxylations exist as a 1',4'-imino tautomeric form of the coenzyme, unlike the michaelis complex or the free coenzyme.As the positive band near 300 nm reports on the 1',4'-imino tautomer of ThDP, methods are now available for kinetic monitoring of both tautomeric forms.
Addition of the tetrahedral ThDP-acetaldehyde adduct, 2-alpha-hydroxyethylThDP, to PDHc-E1 generates the positive band at 300 nm, consistent with the formation of the 1',4'-iminopyrimidine tautomer, as also demonstrated for phosphonolactylthiamin diphosphate, a stable analogue of the tetrahedral ThDP-pyruvate adduct 2-alpha-lactylThDP (Jordan, F. et al.

An indirect kinetic method for determining rate constants of carbon- centered radical rearrangements which has been reported will be further developed such that it will have an ultimate kinetic resolution at room temperature of about one picosecond and will be useful even when direct kinetic studies are not possible.
The indirect method will be extended to decarboxylations of acyloxy radicals and reactions of nitrogen-centered radicals.
A direct laser-flash kinetic method will also be utilized to study decarboxylations of acyloxy radicals as well as rearrangements of carbon- and nitrogen-centered radicals.

Two pathway enzymes catalyze multiple decarboxylations and yet have no cofactors, and one enzyme catalyzes a six-electron oxidation with a single FAD.
From these studies, it is clear that the linear bilane produced by PBGD is the substrate for uroporphyrinogen III synthase, and that the reaction pathway involves a spiro mechanism to rearrange ring D (Fig.

In the body, however, the parahydroxymethyl moietyis oxidized to an aldehyde and the similar group in the meta position is phosphorylated, resulting in the biologically active pyridoxal phosphate.
This coenzyme is remarkably versatile, being involved in transaminations, decarboxylations, racemizations, and numerous modifications of amino acid side chains.
Clinically, pyridoxine helps normal function of the brain, promotes blood cell formation, maintains the chemical balance among body fluids, and assists in carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism.
