Alpha-ketoisovalerate decarboxilase from Lactococcus Lactis

kivD is originally derived from lactococcus lactis and codes for alpha-ketoisovalerate decarboxylase, which catalyzes the reaction of 2-ketoisovcarproate to 3-methyl-1-butane as the last step of a pathway, engineered by Connor et al for enhanced 3-methyl-1-butanole-synthesis in E.coli.1,2

Usage and Biology

We used kivD in our project, as part of our 3-methyl-1-butane module, BBa_K2588024, which is intended to modify E.coli for the production of the lure 3-methyl-1-butanol from pyruvate.
