ENZYME entry: EC 1.2.1.25

Accepted Name
branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase system
Alternative Name(s)
2-oxoisovalerate dehydrogenase (acylating)
branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex
Reaction catalysed
3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate + CoA + NAD(+) = 2-methylpropanoyl-CoA + CO2 + NADH
Comment(s)
  • This enzyme system catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of branched-chain alpha-keto acids derived from L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine to branched-chain acyl-CoAs.
  • It belongs to the 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase system family, which also includes EC 1.2.1.104, EC 1.2.1.105, EC 1.4.1.27 and EC 2.3.1.190.
  • With the exception of the glycine cleavage system, which contains 4 components, the 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase systems share a common structure, consisting of three main components, namely a 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase (E1), a dihydrolipoamide acyltransferase (E2), and dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3).
  • The reaction catalyzed by this system is the sum of three activities: EC 1.2.4.4, EC 2.3.1.168 and EC 1.8.1.4.
  • The system also acts on (S)-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate and 4-methyl-2- oxopentanoate.
