Dihydrolipoyllysine-residue succinyltransferase component of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, (DLST)

The protein contains 453 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 48755 Da.

 

Dihydrolipoamide succinyltransferase (E2) component of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. The 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the overall conversion of 2-oxoglutarate to succinyl-CoA and CO(2). The 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex is mainly active in the mitochondrion (PubMed:29211711, PubMed:30929736). A fraction of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex also localizes in the nucleus and is required for lysine succinylation of histones: associates with KAT2A on chromatin and provides succinyl-CoA to histone succinyltransferase KAT2A (PubMed:29211711).

Alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, e2 component of

CLONING

The alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complexes (pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, and branched chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex) are a family of multienzyme complexes. They are localized in mitochondria and catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of alpha-keto acids. These 3 alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complexes are composed of 3 different enzymes: alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase (E1; 300502), dihydrolipoamide acyltransferase (E2), and dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3; 238331). Dihydrolipoamide succinyltransferase, which is a component of the structural core of the alpha-keto glutarate dehydrogenase complex, was studied by Nakano et al. (1993), who isolated a cDNA from a human fibroblast cDNA library. Amino acid sequence analysis supported their previous observation (Nakano et al., 1993) that human dihydrolipoamide succinyltransferase lacks a sequence motif for an E1 and/or E3 binding site. By Northern blot analysis, Ali et al. (1994) detected ubiquitous expression of DLST in peripheral tissues and brain.

GENE STRUCTURE

Nakano et al. (1993) found that the DLST gene contains 3 exons and 4 introns and that the nucleotide sequence at the 5-prime donor and 3-prime acceptor sites of all introns conformed to the gt-ag rule.

GENE FUNCTION

DLST is the E2 component of the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. In contrast to the E2 components of the other 2 alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complexes, the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (see 300502) and the branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex (see 608348), the alpha-KGDC E2 has a unique structure consisting of 2 domains and lacking a sequence motif of an E3 and/or E1 binding site (Patel and Harris, 1995).

MAPPING

By fluorescence in situ hybridization, Nakano et al. (1993) found that the DLST gene is located on 14q24.2-q24.3 and that a related sequence is located on 1p31. The gene for the dihydrolipoamide acyltransferase of the branched chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex (DBT; 248610), the site of the mutation in type 2 maple syrup urine disease (see 248600), is located on 1p31. Nakano et al. (1993) mentioned the possibility that mutation of the DLST gene may be a cause of familial Alzheimer disease that maps to 14q24.3 (AD3; 607822). Ali et al. (1994) mapped the DLST gene (symbolized by them KGDHC) to 14q24.3 by isotopic in situ hybridization. The cDNA they used also cross-hybridized to an apparent E2k pseudogene on 1p31. ...
