a carboxybiotinyl-[protein] + n Na+in + H+out

⇌

{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }

CO2 + a biotinyl-[protein] + n Na+out (n = 1--2)

This enzyme is an integral membrane protein MadB from the anaerobic bacterium Malonomonas rubra.

Nomenclature

This enzyme was previously classified as EC 4.3.99.2.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Carboxybiotin decarboxylase” as class of enzymes. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 67-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Carboxybiotin, decarboxylase and class can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as class of enzymes. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 26, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q13408721. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
