The pyruvate dehydrogenase and branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase activities of Bacillus subtilis were found to co-purify as a single multienzyme complex. Mutants of B. subtilis with defects in the pyruvate decarboxylase (E1) and dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3) components of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex were correspondingly affected in branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex activity. Selective inhibition of the E1 or lipoate acetyltransferase (E2) components in vitro led to parallel losses in pyruvate dehydrogenase and branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex activity. The pyruvate dehydrogenase and branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes of B. subtilis at the very least share many structural components, and are probably one and the same. The E3 component appeared to be identical for the pyruvate dehydrogenase, 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase and branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes in this organism and to be the product of a single structural gene. Long-chain branched fatty acids are thought to be essential for maintaining membrane fluidity in B. subtilis, and it was observed that the ace (pyruvate dehydrogenase complex) mutant 61142 was unable rapidly to take up acetoacetate, unlike the wild-type, indicative of a defect in membrane permeability. A single pyruvate dehydrogenase and branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex can be seen as an economical means of supplying two different sets of essential metabolites. 相似文献

The activities of 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes were measured during hormone-mediated differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes into adipocytes. Specific activity of leucine-activated branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex increased approx. 10-fold in 3T3-L1 adipocytes compared with 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. In contrast, specific activity of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex increased by only 3-fold in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The three catalytic component enzymes of the branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex and the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex showed concomitant increases in their specific activities. A close similarity in kinetics of induction of the branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex and the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in 3T3-L1 adipocytes suggests that a common mechanism may be involved in hormone-dependent increases in the activities of the catalytic components of these two complexes in 3T3-L1 adipocytes during differentiation. 相似文献

Isolated adipocytes from rat epididymal fat-pads were incubated with [32P]Pi, and intracellular phosphoproteins were then analysed by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. A phosphorylated polypeptide of apparent Mr 46,000 was identified as the alpha-subunit of branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex by immunoprecipitation using antiserum raised against the homogeneous E1 component of branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex. Immunoprecipitation of this phosphoprotein is blocked in a competitive manner by purified branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex. Peptide mapping of the isolated phosphoprotein indicates that two sites on the polypeptide are phosphorylated in the intact cells. Addition of branched-chain 2-oxo acids to the incubation medium causes diminution in the extent of labelling of both phosphorylation sites on the alpha-subunit, an effect presumably mediated via their known inhibitory action on branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase kinase. These observations provide direct evidence for phosphorylation of branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex in intact cells. 相似文献

Kinetics and specificity of reductive acylation of lipoyl domains from 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase multienzyme complexes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Lipoamide and a peptide, Thr-Val-Glu-Gly-Asp-Lys-Ala-Ser-Met-Glu lipoylated on the N6-amino group of the lysine residue, were tested as substrates for reductive acetylation by the pyruvate decarboxylase (E1p) component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex of Escherichia coli. The peptide has the same amino acid sequence as that surrounding the three lipoyllysine residues in the lipoate acetyltransferase (E2p) component of the native enzyme complex. Lipoamide was shown to be a very poor substrate, with a Km much higher than 4 mM and a value of kcat/Km of 1.5 M-1.s-1. Under similar conditions, the three E2p lipoyl domains, excised from the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex by treatment with Staphylococcus aureus V8 proteinase, could be reductively acetylated by E1p much more readily, with a typical Km of approximately 26 microM and a typical kcat of approximately 0.8 s-1. The value of kcat/Km for the lipoyl domains, approximately 3.0 x 10(4) M-1.s-1, is about 20,000 times higher than that for lipoamide as a substrate. This indicates the great improvement in the effectiveness of lipoic acid as a substrate for E1p that accompanies the attachment of the lipoyl group to a protein domain. The free E2o lipoyl domain was similarly found to be capable of being reductively succinylated by the 2-oxoglutarate decarboxylase (E1o) component of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex of E. coli. The 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes are specific for their particular 2-oxo acid substrates. The specificity of the E1 components was found to extend also to the lipoyl domains.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The antigenic P64K protein from the pathogenic bacterium Neisseria meningitidis is found in the outer membrane of the cell, and consists of two parts: an 81-residue N-terminal region and a 482-residue C-terminal region. The amino-acid sequence of the N-terminal region is homologous with the lipoyl domains of the dihydrolipoyl acyltransferase (E2) components, and that of the C-terminal region with the dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3) components, of 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase multienzyme complexes. The two parts are separated by a long linker region, similar to the linker regions in the E2 chains of 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes, and it is likely this region is conformationally flexible. A subgene encoding the P64K lipoyl domain was created and over-expressed in Escherichia coli. The product was capable of post-translational modification by the lipoate protein ligase but not aberrant modification by the biotin protein ligase of E. coli. The solution structure of the apo-domain was determined by means of heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy and found to be a flattened beta barrel composed of two four-stranded antiparallel beta sheets. The lysine residue that becomes lipoylated is in an exposed beta turn that, from a [1H]-15N heteronuclear Overhauser effect experiment, appears to enjoy substantial local motion. This structure of a lipoyl domain derived from a dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase resembles that of lipoyl domains normally found as part of the dihydrolipoyl acyltransferase component of 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes and will assist in furthering the understanding of its function in a multienzyme complex and in the membrane-bound P64K protein itself. 相似文献

1. Comparisons of the activity and kinetics of the branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase in cultured skin fibroblasts from normal and classical maple-syrup-urine-disease (MSUD) subjects provide a kinetic explanation for the enzyme defect. 2. In the intact cell assays, normal fibroblasts demonstrated hyperbolic kinetics with 3-methyl-2-oxo[1-14C]butyrate as a substrate. Intact fibroblasts from four classical MSUD patients showed no decarboxylation over a substrate concentration range of 0.25 to 5.0 mM, and thiamin (4 mM) was without effect. 3. The overall reaction of the multienzyme complex was efficiently reconstituted by using a disrupted-cell system. Normals again showed typical hyperbolic kinetics at the 2-oxo acid concentrations of 0.1 to 5 mM. The Vmax. and apparent Km values were 0.10 +/- 0.02 m-unit/mg of protein and 0.05-0.1 mM respectively, with 3-methyl-2-oxobutyrate. In contrast, classical MSUD patients exhibited sigmoidal kinetics (Hill coefficient, 2.5) with activity approaching 40-60% of the normal value at 5 mM substrate. The K0.5 values from the Hill plots for MSUD patients were 4-7 mM. 4. The E1 (branched-chain 2-oxo acid decarboxylase) component of the multienzyme complex was measured in disrupted-particulate preparations. Normals again showed hyperbolic kinetics with the 2-oxo acid, whereas MSUD preparations exhibited sigmoidal kinetics with the activity of E1 strictly dependent on substrate concentration. Apparent Km or K0.5 were 0.1 and 1.0 mM for normal and MSUD subjects respectively. 5. Measurements of E2 (dihydrolipoyl transacylase) and E3 (dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase) in MSUD preparations showed them to be in the normal range. 6. The above data suggest a defect in the E1 step of branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase in classical MSUD patients. 相似文献

Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase (BCDH) and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH) are multienzyme complexes that play crucial roles in several common metabolic pathways. These enzymes belong to a family of 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes that contain multiple copies of three different components (E1, E2 and E3). For the Thermus thermophilus enzymes, depending on its substrate specificity (pyruvate, branched-chain 2-oxo acid or 2-oxoglutarate), each complex has distinctive E1 (E1p, E1b or E1o) and E2 (E2p, E2b or E2o) components and one of the two possible E3 components (E3b and E3o). (The suffixes, p, b and o identify their respective enzymes, PDH, BCDH and OGDH.) Our biochemical characterization demonstrates that only three specific E3*E2 complexes can form (E3b*E2p, E3b*E2b and E3o*E2o). X-ray analyses of complexes formed between the E3 components and the peripheral subunit-binding domains (PSBDs), derived from the corresponding E2-binding partners, reveal that E3b interacts with E2p and E2b in essentially the same manner as observed for Geobacillus stearothermophilus E3*E2p, whereas E3o interacts with E2o in a novel fashion. The buried intermolecular surfaces of the E3b*PSBDp/b and E3o*PSBDo complexes differ in size, shape and charge distribution and thus, these differences presumably confer the binding specificities for the complexes. 相似文献

1. The reaction of the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex of Escherichia coli with maleimides was examined. In the absence of substrates, the complex showed little or no reaction with N-ethylmaleimide. However, in the presence of pyruvate and N-ethylmaleimide, inhibition of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex was rapid. Modification of the enzyme was restricted to the transacetylase component and the inactivation was proportional to the extent of modification. The lipoamide dehydrogenase activity of the complex was unaffected by the treatment. The simplest explanation is that the lipoyl groups on the transacetylase are reductively acetylated by following the initial stages of the normal catalytic cycle, but are thereby made susceptible to modification. Attempts to characterize the reaction product strongly support this conclusion. 2. Similarly, in the presence of N-ethylmaleimide and NADH, much of the pyruvate dehydrogenase activity was lost within seconds, whereas the lipoamide dehydrogenase activity of the complex disappeared more slowly: the initial site of the reaction with the complex was found to be in the lipoyl transacetylase component. The simplest interpretation of these experiments is that NADH reduces the covalently bound lipoyl groups on the transacetylase by means of the associated lipoamide dehydrogenase component, thereby rendering them susceptible to modification. However, the dependence of the rate and extent of inactivation on NADH concentration was complex and it proved impossible to inhibit the pyruvate dehydrogenase activity completely without unacceptable modification of the other component enzymes. 3. The catalytic reduction of 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) by NADH in the presence of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex was demonstrated. A new mechanism for this reaction is proposed in which NADH causes reduction of the enzyme-bound lipoic acid by means of the associated lipoamide dehydrogenase component and the dihydrolipoamide is then oxidized back to the disulphide form by reaction with 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid). 4. A maleimide with a relatively bulky N-substituent, N-(4-diemthylamino-3,5-dinitrophenyl)maleimide, was an effective replacement for N-ethylmaleimide in these reactions with the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. 5. The 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex of E. coli behaved very similarly to the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, in accord with the generally accepted mechanisms of the two enzymes. 6. The treatment of the 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes with maleimides in the presence of the appropriate 2-oxo acid substrate provides a simple method for selectively inhibiting the transacylase components and for introducing reporter groups on to the lipoyl groups covalently bound to those components. 相似文献

The thiamine-dependent E1o component (EC 1.2.4.2) of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex catalyses a rate-limiting step of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) of aerobically respiring organisms. We describe the crystal structure of Escherichia coli E1o in its apo and holo forms at 2.6 A and 3.5 A resolution, respectively. The structures reveal the characteristic fold that binds thiamine diphosphate and resemble closely the alpha(2)beta(2) hetero-tetrameric E1 components of other 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes, except that in E1o, the alpha and beta subunits are fused as a single polypeptide. The extended segment that links the alpha-like and beta-like domains forms a pocket occupied by AMP, which is recognised specifically. Also distinctive to E1o are N-terminal extensions to the core fold, and which may mediate interactions with other components of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex. The active site pocket contains a group of three histidine residues and one serine that appear to confer substrate specificity and the capacity to accommodate the TCA metabolite oxaloacetate. Oxaloacetate inhibits E1o activity at physiological concentrations, and we suggest that the inhibition may allow coordinated activity within the TCA cycle. We discuss the implications for metabolic control in facultative anaerobes, and for energy homeostasis of the mammalian brain. 相似文献

Use of oligonucleotide probes, which were deduced from the N-terminal sequences of the purified enzyme components, identified the structural genes for the alpha and beta subunits of E1 (acetoin:2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol oxidoreductase), E2 (dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase), and E3 (dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase) of the Pelobacter carbinolicus acetoin dehydrogenase enzyme system, which were designated acoA, acoB, acoC, and acoL, respectively. The nucleotide sequences of acoA (979 bp), acoB (1,014 bp), acoC (1,353 bp), and acoL (1,413 bp) as well as of acoS (933 bp), which encodes a protein with an M(r) of 34,421 exhibiting 64.7% amino acid identity to the Escherichia coli lipA gene product, were determined. These genes are clustered on a 6.1-kbp region. Heterologous expression of acoA, acoB, acoC, acoL, and acoS in E. coli was demonstrated. The amino acid sequences deduced from acoA, acoB, acoC, and acoL for E1 alpha (M(r), 34,854), E1 beta (M(r), 36,184), E2 (M(r), 47,281), and E3 (M(r), 49,394) exhibited striking similarities to the amino acid sequences of the components of the Alcaligenes eutrophus acetoin-cleaving system. Homologies of up to 48.7% amino acid identity to the primary structures of the enzyme components of various 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes also were found. In addition, the respective genes of the 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes and of the acetoin dehydrogenase enzyme system were organized very similarly, indicating a close relationship of the P. carbinolicus acetoin dehydrogenase enzyme system to 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes. 相似文献

Limited proteolysis of the pyruvate decarboxylase (E1, alpha2beta2) component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) multienzyme complex of Bacillus stearothermophilus has indicated the importance for catalysis of a site (Tyr281-Arg282) in the E1alpha subunit (Chauhan, H.J., Domingo, G.J., Jung, H.-I. & Perham, R.N. (2000) Eur. J. Biochem. 267, 7158-7169). This site appears to be conserved in the alpha-subunit of heterotetrameric E1s and multiple sequence alignments suggest that there are additional conserved amino-acid residues in this region, part of a common pattern with the consensus sequence -YR-H-D-YR-DE-. This region lies about 50 amino acids on the C-terminal side of a 30-residue motif previously recognized as involved in binding thiamin diphosphate (ThDP) in all ThDP-dependent enzymes. The role of individual residues in this set of conserved amino acids in the E1alpha chain was investigated by means of site-directed mutagenesis. We propose that particular residues are involved in: (a) binding the 2-oxo acid substrate, (b) decarboxylation of the 2-oxo acid and reductive acetylation of the tethered lipoyl domain in the PDH complex, (c) an "open-close" mechanism of the active site, and (d) phosphorylation by the E1-specific kinase (in eukaryotic PDH and branched chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes). 相似文献

At 0.1 mM 2-oxo[1-14C]isocaproate or 2-oxo[1-14C]isovalerate plots of the reciprocal of the rate of 14CO2 formation by branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex in mitochondria vs alpha-cyanocinamate concentration were linear up to high inhibitor concentrations, indicating that the monocarboxylate carrier-mediated transport was the rate-limiting step. At low (0.025 mM) concentration of 2-oxo[1-14C]isocaproate or 2-oxo[1-14C]isovalerate the 1/v vs I plots became nonlinear indicating that the branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase activity determined the rate of 14CO2 formation. Inhibition of branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex by clofibric acid or arsenite showed that at 0.1 mM 2-oxoisovalerate the activity of the complex became the rate-limiting step of the pathway. The availability of the 2-oxoisocaproate or 2-oxoisovalerate seems to affect the phosphorylation and the activity of the branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex only at low, physiological concentrations of these substrates (less than 0.025 mM). 相似文献

The 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex was succinylated using 2-oxo[5-14C]glutarate in the presence of N-ethylmaleimide to label the lipoic acid cofactor of the transuccinylase (E2) component. Following peptic digestion, 14C-lipoate-containing peptides were purified and subjected to automated Edman degradation and amino acid analysis. The amino acid sequence surrounding the lipoyllysine residue is reported. 相似文献

The structures of the dihydrolipoamide acyltransferase (E2) components of the 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes from Escherichia coli were investigated by limited proteolysis. Trypsin and Staphylococcus aureus V8 proteinase were used to excise the three lipoyl domains from the E2p component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and the single lipoyl domain from the E2o component of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. The principal sites of action of these enzymes on each E2 chain were determined by sequence analysis of the isolated lipoyl fragments and of the truncated E2p and E2o chains. Each of the numerous cleavage sites (12 in E2p, six in E2o) fell within similar segments of the E2 chains, namely stretches of polypeptide rich in alanine, proline and/or charged amino acids. These regions are clearly accessible to proteinases of Mr 24,000-28,000 and, on the basis of n.m.r. spectroscopy, some of them have previously been implicated in facilitating domain movements by virtue of their conformational flexibility. The limited proteolysis data suggest that E2p and E2o possess closer architectural similarities than would be predicted from inspection of their amino acid sequences. As a result of this work, an error was detected in the sequence of E2o inferred from the previously published sequence of the encoding gene, sucB. The relevant peptides from E2o were purified and sequenced by direct means; an amended sequence is presented. 相似文献

The activity of branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex increased 3.0-fold in liver of rats fed on 0.1%(w/w) clofibrate. Immunotitration experiments with antibodies against the constituent enzymes of the complex revealed that this increase resulted mainly from the increased amounts of only two(a decarboxylase and a lipoate acyltransferase) of three components of the complex and that the other component(dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase) remained unchanged in its content, irrespective of clofibrate administration. The increases of both enzyme components were associated with increases in their mRNA levels which were estimated by in vitro translation with poly(A)+ RNA. 相似文献

Autoantibodies present in the disease primary biliary cirrhosis react by immunoblotting with four major yeast mitochondrial antigens of 58 kDa, 55 kDa, 52 kDa and 45 kDa, tentatively identified as the lipoate acetyl transferases (E2) of the pyruvate dehydrogenase, component X of E2 pyruvate dehydrogenase, E2 of 2-oxo glutarate dehydrogenase and E2 of branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes respectively. The synthesis of these antigens is sensitive to catabolite repression. The reactive antigens are present in mit- mutants of yeast which have specific defects in the mitochondrial apocytochrome b, cytochrome oxidase subunit II and H+ -ATPase subunits 8 and 9, and in mtDNA-less rho O petite mutants, but a significant increase in the sensitivity to catabolite repression was observed in these mutants in particular in the mtDNA-less strains. 相似文献

1. A branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase was partially purified from ox liver mitochondria. 2. The preparation oxidized 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate, 3-methyl-2-oxobutyrate and D- and L-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate. The apparent Km values for the oxo acids and for thiamin pyrophosphate, CoA, NAD+ and Mg2+ were determined. 3. The oxidation of each oxo acid was inhibited by isovaleryl (3-methylbutyryl)-CoA (competitive with CoA) and by NADH (competitive with NAD+); Ki values were determined. 4. The preparation showed substrate inhibition with each 2-oxo acid. The oxidative decarboxylation of 4-methyl-2-oxo[1-14C]pentanoate was inhibited by 3-methyl-2-oxobutyrate and DL-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate, but not by pyruvate. The Vmax. with 3-methyl-2-oxobutyrate as variable substrate was not increased by the presence of each of the other 2-oxo acids. 5. Ox heart pyruvate dehydrogenase did not oxidize these branched-chain 2-oxo acids and it was not inhibited by isovaleryl-CoA. The branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase activity (unlike that of pyruvate dehydrogenase) was not inhibited by acetyl-CoA. 6. It is concluded that the branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase activity is distinct from that of pyruvate dehydrogenase, and that a single complex may oxidize all three branched-chain 2-oxo acids. 相似文献

Inactivation of the 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes upon generation of intrinsic radical species.
Self-regulation of the 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes during catalysis was studied. Radical species as side products of catalysis were detected by spin trapping, lucigenin fluorescence and ferricytochrome c reduction. Studies of the complexes after converting the bound lipoate or FAD cofactors to nonfunctional derivatives indicated that radicals are generated via FAD. In the presence of oxygen, the 2-oxo acid, CoA-dependent production of the superoxide anion radical was detected. In the absence of oxygen, a protein-bound radical concluded to be the thiyl radical of the complex-bound dihydrolipoate was trapped by alpha-phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone. Another, carbon-centered, radical was trapped in anaerobic reaction of the complex with 2-oxoglutarate and CoA by 5,5'-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO). Generation of radical species was accompanied by the enzyme inactivation. A superoxide scavenger, superoxide dismutase, did not protect the enzyme. However, a thiyl radical scavenger, thioredoxin, prevented the inactivation. It was concluded that the thiyl radical of the complex-bound dihydrolipoate induces the inactivation by 1e- oxidation of the 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase catalytic intermediate. A product of this oxidation, the DMPO-trapped radical fragment of the 2-oxo acid substrate, inactivates the first component of the complex. The inactivation prevents transformation of the 2-oxo acids in the absence of terminal substrate, NAD+. The self-regulation is modulated by thioredoxin which alleviates the adverse effect of the dihydrolipoate intermediate, thus stimulating production of reactive oxygen species by the complexes. The data point to a dual pro-oxidant action of the complex-bound dihydrolipoate, propagated through the first and third component enzymes and controlled by thioredoxin and the (NAD+ + NADH) pool. 相似文献

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complexes (PDCs) from all known living organisms comprise three principal catalytic components for their mission: E1 and E2 generate acetyl-coenzyme A, whereas the FAD/NAD+-dependent E3 performs redox recycling. Here we compare bacterial (Escherichia coli) and human PDCs, as they represent the two major classes of the superfamily of 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes with different assembly of, and interactions among components. The human PDC is subject to inactivation at E1 by serine phosphorylation by four kinases, an inactivation reversed by the action of two phosphatases. Progress in our understanding of these complexes important in metabolism is reviewed. 相似文献

Regulatory effects of fatty acids on decarboxylation of leucine and 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate in the perfused rat heart. 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
The regulatory effects of fatty acids on the oxidative decarboxylation of leucine and 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate were investigated in the isolated rat heart. Infusion of the long-chain fatty acid palmitate resulted in both an inactivation of the branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase and an inhibition of the measured metabolic flux through this enzyme complex. Pyruvate addition also caused both an inactivation and an inhibition of the flux through the complex. On the other hand, the medium-chain fatty acid octanoate caused an activation of and a stimulation of flux through the branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase when the perfusion conditions before octanoate addition maintained the enzyme complex in its inactive state. When the enzyme complex was activated before octanoate infusion, this fatty acid caused a significant inhibition of the flux through the branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase reaction. Inclusion of glucose in the perfusion medium prevented the octanoate-mediated activation of the branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase. 相似文献
