Disease
[ODPX_HUMAN] Defects in PDHX are the cause of pyruvate dehydrogenase E3-binding protein deficiency (PDHXD) [MIM:245349].[1]
Function
[ODPX_HUMAN] Required for anchoring dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3) to the dihydrolipoamide transacetylase (E2) core of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complexes of eukaryotes. This specific binding is essential for a functional PDH complex.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
The pseudo-atomic structural model of human pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc) core composed of full-length E2 and E3BP components, calculated from our cryoelectron microscopy-derived density maps at 6-A resolution, is similar to those of prokaryotic E2 structures. The spatial organization of human PDHc components as evidenced by negative-staining electron microscopy and native mass spectrometry is not homogeneous, and entails the unanticipated formation of local clusters of E1:E2 and E3BP:E3 complexes. Such uneven, clustered organization translates into specific duties for E1-E2 clusters (oxidative decarboxylation and acetyl transfer) and E3BP-E3 clusters (regeneration of reduced lipoamide) corresponding to half-reactions of the PDHc catalytic cycle. The addition of substrate coenzyme A modulates the conformational landscape of PDHc, in particular of the lipoyl domains, extending the postulated multiple random coupling mechanism. The conformational and associated chemical landscapes of PDHc are thus not determined entirely stochastically, but are restrained and channeled through an asymmetric architecture and further modulated by substrate binding.
