UniProt functional annotation for Q5SLR4

UniProt code: Q5SLR4.

Organism: Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC 27634 / DSM 579 / HB8).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus.
 
Function: The branched-chain alpha-keto dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the overall conversion of alpha-keto acids to acyl-CoA and CO(2). It contains multiple copies of three enzymatic components: branched-chain alpha-keto acid decarboxylase (E1), lipoamide acyltransferase (E2) and lipoamide dehydrogenase (E3) (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P37940}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate + [dihydrolipoyllysine-residue (2- methylpropanoyl)transferase]-(R)-N(6)-lipoyl-L-lysine + H(+) = [dihydrolipoyllysine-residue (2-methylpropanoyl)transferase]-(R)- N(6)-(S(8)-2-methylpropanoyldihydrolipoyl)-L-lysine + CO2; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:13457, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10488, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10489, ChEBI:CHEBI:11851, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:16526, ChEBI:CHEBI:83099, ChEBI:CHEBI:83142; EC=1.2.4.4; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15033367};
Cofactor: Name=thiamine diphosphate; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:58937; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15033367};
Subunit: Heterotetramer of two alpha and two beta chains. Directly associated with ODBB in the E1 complex. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15033367}.
Similarity: Belongs to the BCKDHA family. {ECO:0000305}.
