Pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) is a homotetrameric enzyme (E.C.4.1.1.1) that catalyses the decarboxylation of pyruvic acid to acetaldehyde carbon dioxide in the cytoplasm. It is also called 2-oxo-acid carboxylase, and pyruvic decarboxylase. In anaerobic conditions, this enzyme is part of the fermentation process that occurs in yeast, especially the Saccharomyces genus, to produce ethanol by fermentation. Pyruvate decarboxylase starts this process by converting pyruvate into acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide. Pyruvate decarboxylase depends on cofactors thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) and magnesium. This enzyme should not be mistaken for the unrelated enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase, an oxidoreductase (EC 1.2.4.1), that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA. |

application example 
20 µg of total protein from Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings (0-2-4-8-12-24 hours of anoxic treatment with aerobic control) of WT Col-0 extracted with an SDS Extraction Buffer (60mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 2% SDS, 1,5% Sucrose) were separated on XT CRITERION 10% Bis-Tris (BioRad) SDS-PAGE and blotted 1h to PVDF. Blot was blocked immediately in milk in TBS-T for 1h at room temperature (RT) with agitation. Blot was incubated in the anti-PCD antibodies at a diluition of 1: 10 000 in milk in TBS-T for 3h at RT with agitation. Blot was incubated in secondary antibody (goat anti-rabbit IgG HRP conjugated from Agrisera, AS09 602) diluited 1:20 000 in milk in TBS-T for 50 min at RT and then washed as above and developed for 2 min with standard ECL. Images of the blot were obtained using BioSpectrum AC Imaging System (UVP). Exposure time was 10 min. 
20 µg of total protein from Orysa sativa coleoptiles (3-4-5-6 days of germination under aerobic and anoxic conditions) extracted with an SDS Extraction Buffer (60mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 2% SDS, 1,5% Sucrose) were separated on XT CRITERION 10% Bis-Tris (BioRad) SDS-PAGE and blotted 1h to PVDF. The blot was blocked immediately in milk in TBS-T for 1h at room temperature (RT) with agitation. Blot was incubated in the anti-PCD antibodies at a diluition of 1: 3000 in milk in TBS-T for over night with agitation. Blot was incubated in secondary antibody (goat anti-rabbit IgG HRP conjugated from Agrisera, AS09 602) diluited 1:20 000 in milk in TBS-T for 50 min at RT and then washed as above and developed for 2 min with standard ECL. Images of the blot were obtained using BioSpectrum AC Imaging System (UVP). Exposure time was 10 min.
