The E1 component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC, PDHC) catalyzes the decarboxylation of pyruvate (PYR) with subsequent transfer of acetyl to the E2 subunit (DLAT). E1 is a complex consisting of a heterotetramer of two PDHA1 or PDHA2 (testis-specific) subunits with two PDHB subunits. Cofactors are two thiamin diphosphate molecules, as well as two Mg2+ ions and two K+ ions (Ciszak et al., 2003). PDH complex deficiencies can be caused by defects in PDHA1 (PDHAD, MIM:312170), PDHA2 (SPGF70, MIM:619828), and PDHB (PDHBD, MIM:614111). For a review of PDH complex deficiency, see Prasad et al., 2011.
