Regulation of oxidative decarboxylation of branched-chain 2-oxo acids in rat liver mitochondria
Authors:J Cie?la  E Wa?ajtys-Rode
Abstract:At 0.1 mM 2-oxo1-14C]isocaproate or 2-oxo1-14C]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-oxo1-14C]isocaproate or 2-oxo1-14C]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).
