title: Molecular cloning of cDNA for rat liver lipoate acetyltransferase. A component of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
abstract: One cDNA clone for lipoate acetyltransferase, a component enzyme of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, was isolated from a rat liver cDNA library prepared in the phage expression vector lambda gt11 using immunological screening with affinity purified anti-lipoate acetyltransferase antibody. It was identified tha cDNA insert in this clone codes for lipoate acetyltransferase by immunoblotting of lysogen carrying the isolated clone. Lipoate acetyltransferase antigenic polypeptide in fusion protein was about 11,000 daltons, agreeing with the size of cDNA insert to be 300 base pairs.
