title: Isolation of a cDNA clone for the dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase component of the human liver pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
abstract: Dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (E2) forms the structural core of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. A cDNA clone (lambda E2-1) for mammalian E2 was identified from a human liver lambda gt11 library using anti-E2 serum. Affinity-selected antibodies using the fusion protein from lambda E2-1 immuno-reacted specifically with E2 of purified pyruvate dehydrogenase complex on immuno-blot analysis. The cDNA insert was approximately 2.3 kb in length with an internal EcoR1 site generating 1.4 and 0.9 kb fragments. A synthetic 17-mer oligodeoxynucleotide mixture based on the amino acid sequence surrounding the lipoic acid-containing lysine residue in bovine kidney E2 hybridized with the 2.3 kb cDNA insert and the 1.4 kb fragment.
