A cloaked glutamate decarboxylase sustains the GABA shunt in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
It is demonstrated that Rv2531c is a novel L-glutamate decarboxylase that sustains carbon flux through the GABA shunt in M. tuberculosis and proposes that many members of this large and diverse enzyme family catalyze distinct reactions and participate in previously unrecognized metabolic pathways, revealing a broader a...
