Evidence for a 1,3-Dipolar Cyclo-addition Mechanism in the Decarboxylation of Phenylacrylic Acids Catalyzed by Ferulic Acid Decarboxylase
Ferulic acid decarboxylase catalyzes the decarboxylation of phenylacrylic acid using a newly identified cofactor, prenylated flavin mononucleotide (prFMN). The proposed mechanism involves the formation of a putative pentacyclic intermediate formed by a 1,3 dipolar cyclo-addition of prFMN with the ?–? double bond of the substrate, which serves to activate the substrate toward decarboxylation. However, enzyme-catalyzed 1,3 dipolar cyclo-additions are unprecedented and other mechanisms are plausible.

The frequency and distribution of crossover formation are tightly regulated to ensure the proper progression of meiosis.
