Glutamate decarboxylase from a mouse brain P2 fraction undergoes a twofold activation in the presence of 0.5 mM ATP. No such stimulation by ATP occurs if the enzyme is assayed in the presence of excess pyridoxal phosphate as cofactor. The ATP-induced stimulation is almost completely eliminated if the enzyme is dialysed before its assay. [γ-32P]ATP present during the enzyme measurement is converted to [32P]pyridoxal phosphate. These results demonstrate that the activation produced by ATP is the result of the generation of cofactor during the course of the assay. This phenomenon may be a reflection of a control mechanism of glutamate decarboxylase activity.

L-threo-3-Fluoroglutamate and L-erythro-3-fluoroglutamate were tested with glutamate decarboxylase from Escherichia coli. Both isomers were substrates: the threo isomer was decarboxylated into optically active 4-amino-3-fluorobutyrate, whereas the erythro isomer lost the fluorine atom during the reaction, yielding succinic semialdehyde after hydrolysis of the unstable intermediate enamine. The difference between the two isomers demonstrates that the glutamic acid-pyridoxal phosphate Schiff base is present at the active site under a rigid conformation. Furthermore, although the erythro isomer lost the fluorine atom, yielding a reactive aminoacrylic acid in the active site, no irreversible inactivation of E. coli glutamate decarboxylase was observed.
