gene pflB, coexpression of pyruvate formate lyase with the pyruvate formate lyase activating enzyme (gene pflA, UniProt ID P0A9N4) as well as with appropriate electron donors flavodoxin and ferredoxin (encoded by genes fldA and fdx, respectively), in a non-ethanol-producing Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain IMI076 lacking pyruvate decarboxylase and having a reduced glucose uptake rate due to a mutation in the transcriptional regulator Mth1, IMI076 (Pdc- MTH1-DELTAT ura3-52), plasmid maps, overview. Reduced flavodoxin is the preferred electron donor, but coexpression of either of the electron donors has a positive effect on growth under aerobic conditions. Subcloning in Escherichia coli strain DH5alpha. The PFL pathway can be functional at aerobic growth conditions in yeast when coexpressed with appropriate electron donors | Escherichia coli |

physiological function | pyruvate formate lyase (PFL) forms an alternative pathway for acetyl-CoA biosynthesis. Pyruvate formate lyase is characterized as an enzyme functional at anaerobic conditions, since the radical in the enzyme's active form is sensitive to oxygen. PFL pathway can be functional at aerobic growth conditions in yeast when coexpressed with appropriate electron donors | Escherichia coli |
