cis-Aconitate decarboxylase - cadA

cadA is a gene, coding for a cis-aconitate decarboxylase in Aspergillus terreus. The decarboxylase catalyzes the conversion from cis-aconitate to itaconic acid. The reaction takes place in the cytosol of the host and frees one molecule of carbon dioxide per conversion.
