| UniProt functional annotation for P11961 | |||
| UniProt code: P11961. |
| Organism: | Geobacillus stearothermophilus (Bacillus stearothermophilus). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Geobacillus. | |
| Function: | The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the overall conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and CO(2). It contains multiple copies of three enzymatic components: pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1), dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (E2) and lipoamide dehydrogenase (E3). | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=(R)-N(6)-dihydrolipoyl-L-lysyl-[protein] + acetyl-CoA = (R)- N(6)-(S(8)-acetyldihydrolipoyl)-L-lysyl-[protein] + CoA; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:17017, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10475, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10478, ChEBI:CHEBI:57287, ChEBI:CHEBI:57288, ChEBI:CHEBI:83100, ChEBI:CHEBI:83111; EC=2.3.1.12; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=(R)-lipoate; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:83088; Note=Binds 1 lipoyl cofactor covalently.; | |
| Subunit: | Forms a 60-polypeptide structural core with icosahedral symmetry. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
