Abstract Multiple mitochondrial matrix enzymes playing key roles in metabolism require cofactors for their action. Due to the high impermeability of the mitochondrial inner membrane, these cofactors need to be synthesized within the mitochondria or be imported, themselves or one of their precursors, into the organelles.

Subunit structure of dihydrolipoyl transacetylase component of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex from Escherichia coli [PDF]
Limited tryptic digestion of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex of Escherichia coli or its dihydrolipoyl transacetylase core cleaves the trypsin-sensitive transacetylase subunits into two large fragments, A (lipoyl domain) and D (subunit binding domain). Release of fragments A from the complex does not significantly

Identification of PDHX as a metabolic target for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Inoue et al. found that pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) component X expression is necessary for PDH activity and is involved in the cancer stemness of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells, thereby being metabolically essential for the tumor growth of ESCC.

The domain structure of the dihydrolipoyl transacetylase component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex from Azotobacter vinelandii [PDF]
Limited proteolysis with trypsin has been used to study the domain structure of the dihydrolipoyltransacetylase (E2) component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex of Azotobacter vinelandii. Two stable end products were obtained and identified as the N-terminal lipoyl domain and the C-terminal catalytic domain.

The gene encoding dihydrolipoyl transacetylase from Azotobacter vinelandii [PDF]
The gene encoding the dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E2) component from Azotobacter vinelandii has been cloned in Escherichia coli. High expression of the gene was found when the cells were grown for more than 14 h. The E2 produced was partially active, varying 10 and 90% in different experiments.

Interaction of lipoamide dehydrogenase with the dihydrolipoyl transacetylase component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex from Azotobacter vinelandii [PDF]
The interaction between lipoamide dehydrogenase (E3) and dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E2p) from the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex was studied during the reconstitution of monomeric E3 apoenzymes from Azotobacter vinelandii and Pseudomonas fluorescens.

A kinetic study of dihydrolipoyl transacetylase from bovine kidney.
The mammalian pyruvate dehydrogenase complex contains a core, consisting of dihydrolipoyl transacetylase, to which pyruvate dehydrogenase and dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase are joined. This report describes studies on the kinetic mechanism of the transacetylase-catalyzed reaction between [1-14C]acetyl-CoA and dihydrolipoamide.

This study shows the unique molecular architecture of the PDH‐ODH hybrid complex in Corynebacterium glutamicum, in which both CgE1p and CgE1o associate with the CgE2‐E3 subcomplex. The core‐forming CgE2‐E3 probably consists of six copies of CgE2, which is relatively compact compared with PDH and ODH in other microorganisms that have 24 copies of E2 ...

Nematode pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases: role of the C-terminus in binding to the dihydrolipoyl transacetylase core of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex [PDF]
Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDKs) from the anaerobic parasitic nematode Ascaris suum and the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans were functionally expressed with hexahistidine tags at their N-termini and purified to apparent homogeneity. Both recombinant PDKs (rPDKs) were dimers, were not autophosphorylated and exhibited similar specific ...

Time‐resolved fluorescence studies on the dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E2) component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex from Azotobacter vinelandii [PDF]
The dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E2) component of A. vinelandii PDC and its lipoyl domain shows similar dynamic properties as revealed with fluorescence anisotropy decay of lipoyl‐bound IAANS. The lipoyl domain (32.6 kDa), containing three almost identical subdomains shows a mode of rotation characteristic for a protein of about 30 kDa.
