Description
2-ketobutyrate formate-lyase/pyruvate formate-lyase 4.
It catalyzes the reversible conversion of pyruvate and coenzyme-A into formate and acetyl-CoA; the formate can then be used for Hydrogen production. It is activated under anaerobic conditions, we wanted to constitutively express it in order to improve the formate production.
Notes
It was amplified by PCR using those primers :
CCCGAATTCGCGGCCGCTTCTAGATGAAGGTAGATATT
CCCCTGCAGCGGCCGCTACTAGTATCAGAGCGCCTGGGT
Source
It comes from the genome of Escherichia coli K-12 substr. MG1655
