Halofenate and clofibrate inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase from Fusarium culmorum. 1985

C Madhosingh, and W Orr

Pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1, E.C. 1.2.4.1) was obtained from Fusarium culmorum by ammonium sulfate precipitation. An eight-fold purification was obtained with a specific activity of 13 K units/mg protein. Both halofenate and clofibrate inhibited the enzyme complex non-competitively. The inhibitory effect of halofenate was greater than that of clofibrate being 42% higher at 20 mM concentration compared to the inhibition by clofibrate at 40 mM concentration. Both compounds disorganized the normal cytoplasmic lipids including the emptying of cells in the mycelium suggesting membrane disruption.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011768 Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex A multienzyme complex responsible for the formation of ACETYL COENZYME A from pyruvate. The enzyme components are PYRUVATE DEHYDROGENASE (LIPOAMIDE); dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase; and LIPOAMIDE DEHYDROGENASE. Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is subject to three types of control: inhibited by acetyl-CoA and NADH; influenced by the energy state of the cell; and inhibited when a specific serine residue in the pyruvate decarboxylase is phosphorylated by ATP. PYRUVATE DEHYDROGENASE (LIPOAMIDE)-PHOSPHATASE catalyzes reactivation of the complex.
