Different Gene Preferences of Maple Syrup Urine Disease in the Aboriginal Tribes of Taiwan
Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a rare inborn error of metabolism caused by a deficiency of the branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKD) complex. Mutations in any one of the three different genes encoding for the BCKD components, namely, BCKDHA,

Lacticacidaemia due to pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency, with evidence of protein polymorphism in the α-subunit of the enzyme [PDF]
In three infants with neonatal lacticacidaemia, a deficiency in the E 1 (pyruvate dehydrogenase) component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex was demonstrated in skin fibroblast cultures. Residual activites of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in the

Formation of reactive oxygen species by human and bacterial pyruvate and 2- oxoglutarate dehydrogenase multienzyme complexes reconstituted from recombinant components [PDF]
Individual recombinant components of pyruvate and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase multienzyme complexes (PDHc, OGDHc) of human and Escherichia coli (E. coli) origin were expressed and purified from E. coli with optimized protocols.

Cuproptosis: potential new direction in diabetes research and treatment. [PDF]
Cuproptosis, a recently discovered form of cell death, stems from an overabundance of copper ions infiltrating mitochondria. These ions directly engage lipoylated proteins, prompting their oligomerization and subsequent loss of iron-sulfur clusters. This

Two residues—Asp374 and His375—were identified to be catalytically important at the active center of the E2 component of the Escherichia coli 2‐oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. A series of experiments demonstrated that the mechanism of succinyl transfer between the thiol groups of dihydrolipoamide‐E2 and CoA does not involve acid–base catalysis ...

Human Metabolic Enzymes Deficiency: A Genetic Mutation Based Approach
One of the extreme challenges in biology is to ameliorate the understanding of the mechanisms which emphasize metabolic enzyme deficiency (MED) and how these pretend to have influence on human health. However, it has been manifested that MED could be either inherited as inborn error of metabolism (IEM) or acquired, which carries a high risk of ...

LC-MS proteomics analysis of the iInsulin/IGF-1-deficient Caenorhabditis elegans daf-2(e1370) mutant reveals extensive restructuring of intermediary metabolism [PDF]
The insulin/IGF-1 receptor is a major known determinant of dauer formation, stress resistance, longevity, and metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans. In the past, whole-genome transcript profiling was used extensively to study differential gene expression ...

Structure of the cubic core and the lipoamide dehydrogenase component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. [PDF]
In this thesis, the crystal structures of the E3 component and of the catalytic domain of E2p are presented. These are the first atomic structures of the cubic core and of the E3 component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase and related multienzyme complexes ...
