Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 component subunit beta, mitochondrial (PDHB)

The protein contains 359 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 39233 Da.

 

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the overall conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and CO(2), and thereby links the glycolytic pathway to the tricarboxylic cycle. (updated: April 1, 2015)

Pyruvate dehydrogenase, beta polypeptide; pdhb
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, e1 beta polypeptide; phe1b

DESCRIPTION

Pyruvate dehydrogenase is a tetramer consisting of 2 alpha subunits (PDHA1; 300502) and 2 beta subunits (PDHB). The enzyme, which is found in mitochondria, is one of the component enzymes of the pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex (PDH). It catalyzes the first reaction of an oxidative decarboxylation sequence converting pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and CO(2) (summary by Koike et al., 1988).

CLONING

Koike et al. (1988) cloned and sequenced cDNAs encoding the alpha and the beta subunits. Ho et al. (1988) isolated a 1.5-kb cDNA clone for the beta subunit of E1 from a human liver gamma-gt11 cDNA library using anti-E1 serum.

MAPPING

Using a cDNA probe, Olson et al. (1990) demonstrated that the PHE1B gene is located on 3p13-q23.

GENE STRUCTURE

Koike et al. (1990) described the molecular cloning of the entire human PHE1B gene, its characterization by restriction enzyme analysis, and its complete nucleotide sequence. The PHE1B gene contains 10 exons. All intron-exon splice junctions follow the GT/AG rule. The Alu family was found in introns 2 and 8.

MOLECULAR GENETICS

In 2 unrelated patients with pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency (PDHBD; 614111), Brown et al. (2004) identified homozygous mutations in the PDHB gene (179060.0001-179060.0002). The patients presented with lactic acidosis and neurologic dysfunction and had little residual PDH activity in cultured fibroblasts. The consequences of the mutations could be analyzed by comparison with the normal structure of the human PDH E1 enzyme. ... More on the omim web site
