Characterizations

IDENTIFICATION OF SPECIES OF ORIGIN

Species of Origin Confirmed by Nucleoside Phosphorylase Isoenzyme Electrophoresis

3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate dehydrogenase

Indo et al (J Clin Invest 80:63-70 1987) reported that lymphoblasts from this patient had BCKDH enzyme activity which showed sigmoidal or near sigmoidal kinetics for overall activity which was reduced from normal activity. Both fibroblasts and lymphoblasts showed a markedly decreased amount of the E1B (branched-chain alpha-keto acid decarboxylase) protein component of the BCKDH complex using an immunoblot analysis. The E1A subunit gave a weakly positive reaction and the E2 (dihydrolipoyl transacylase) and E3 (dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase) proteins exhibited cross-reactive peptide. Fisher et al (Am J Hum Genet 49:429-434 1991) reported that cDNA from this maple syrup urine disease patient showed a mutation at codon 393 of the mature E1 alpha polypeptide consisting of a base substitution changing a tyrosine (encoded by TAC) to an asparagine residue (encoded by AAC) which is designated Y393N. The patient was found to be homozygous for the mutation. EC Number: 1.2.4.4
