Highly purified branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex (BCOADC) oxidizes 4-methylthio-2-oxobutyrate and 2-oxobutyrate, with Km values of 67 microM and 18 microM respectively. The Vmax. for oxidation of these substrates is 27% and 53% respectively of that for 3-methyl-2-oxobutyrate. Highly purified pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) oxidizes 2-oxobutyrate (Km 100 microM; Vmax. 49% of that for pyruvate) but not 4-methylthio-2-oxobutyrate, whereas 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex will not utilize either 2-oxo acid as substrate. BCOADC kinase is inhibited by both 4-methylthio-2-oxobutyrate and 2-oxobutyrate, with half-maximal inhibition by 45 microM and 50 microM respectively. Phosphorylation of BCOADC in isolated adipocytes is inhibited by both 4-methylthio-2-oxobutyrate and 2-oxobutyrate, consistent with their inhibitory action of BCOADC kinase. Phosphorylation of PDC is decreased by 2-oxobutyrate, but not by 4-methylthio-2-oxobutyrate.
高度纯化的支链2-氧代酸脱氢酶复合物(BCOADC)可氧化4-甲硫基-2-氧代丁酸酯和2-氧代丁酸酯,其Km值分别为67微摩尔/升和18微摩尔/升。这些底物氧化反应的最大反应速度(Vmax)分别为3-甲基-2-氧代丁酸酯氧化反应最大反应速度的27%和53%。高度纯化的丙酮酸脱氢酶复合物(PDC)可氧化2-氧代丁酸酯(Km为100微摩尔/升;Vmax为丙酮酸氧化反应最大反应速度的49%),但不能氧化4-甲硫基-2-氧代丁酸酯,而2-氧代戊二酸脱氢酶复合物则不能将这两种2-氧代酸作为底物。BCOADC激酶受到4-甲硫基-2-氧代丁酸酯和2-氧代丁酸酯的抑制,半最大抑制浓度分别为45微摩尔/升和50微摩尔/升。在分离的脂肪细胞中,4-甲硫基-2-氧代丁酸酯和2-氧代丁酸酯均抑制BCOADC的磷酸化,这与其对BCOADC激酶的抑制作用一致。2-氧代丁酸酯可降低PDC的磷酸化,但4-甲硫基-2-氧代丁酸酯则无此作用。
