A pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-containing peptide which contained 54 amino acid residues was isolated from chicken liver P-protein of the glycine cleavage system following reduction with NaB3H4, carboxymethylation, and proteolysis with lysylendopeptidase. Two peptides which comprise the two halves of the phosphopyridoxyl peptide were isolated from apo-P-protein. Sequence analysis of these three peptides provided the primary structure of the phosphopyridoxyl peptide and revealed that the cofactor is linked to Lys-35. The pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-binding site has the His-Lys(PLP)-X structure characteristic of known pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent amino acid decarboxylases, tryptophan synthase, and serine hydroxymethyltransferase.

D010455	Peptides	Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS.	Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D011732	Pyridoxal Phosphate	This is the active form of VITAMIN B 6 serving as a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid. During transamination of amino acids, pyridoxal phosphate is transiently converted into pyridoxamine phosphate (PYRIDOXAMINE).

D050841	Glycine Dehydrogenase (Decarboxylating)	A PYRIDOXAL PHOSPHATE dependent enzyme that catalyzes the decarboxylation of GLYCINE with the transfer of an aminomethyl group to the LIPOIC ACID moiety of the GLYCINE DECARBOXYLASE COMPLEX H-PROTEIN. Defects in P-protein are the cause of non-ketotic hyperglycinemia. It is one of four subunits of the glycine decarboxylase complex.
