glutamate decarboxylase A (GadA)
The gene GadA (glutamate decarboxylase A) can be cloned from Escherichia coli str. K-12 substr. GadA is a functional gene for producing alkali. It catalyzes the proton-consuming conversion of glutamate to γ-amino butyric acid (GABA) whereas it converts glutamate to GABA by removing the α-carboxylate group of glutamate.
The following picture(Fig.1) shows the entire process of gad system.
