title = "FrsA functions as a cofactor-independent decarboxylase to control metabolic flux",
abstract = "The interaction between fermentation-respiration switch (FrsA) protein and glucose-specific enzyme IIAGlc increases glucose fermentation under oxygen-limited conditions. We show that FrsA converts pyruvate to acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide in a cofactor-independent manner and that its pyruvate decarboxylation activity is enhanced by the dephosphorylated form of IIA Glc (d-IIA Glc). Crystal structures of FrsA and its complex with d-IIAGlc revealed residues required for catalysis as well as the structural basis for the activation by d-IIAGlc.",
