BCKDK
geneOn this page
Summary
BCKDK (branched chain keto acid dehydrogenase kinase, HGNC:16902) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16p11.2, encoding Branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase kinase (O14874). Serine/threonine-protein kinase component of macronutrients metabolism.
The branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex (BCKD) is an important regulator of the valine, leucine, and isoleucine catabolic pathways. The protein encoded by this gene is found in the mitochondrion, where it phosphorylates and inactivates BCKD. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Serine/threonine-protein kinase component of macronutrients metabolism. Forms a functional kinase and phosphatase pair with PPM1K, serving as a metabolic regulatory node that coordinates branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) with glucose and lipid metabolism via two distinct phosphoprotein targets: mitochondrial BCKDHA subunit of the branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) complex and cytosolic ACLY, a lipogenic enzyme of Krebs cycle. Phosphorylates and inactivates mitochondrial BCKDH complex a multisubunit complex consisting of three multimeric components each involved in different steps of BCAA catabolism: E1 composed of BCKDHA and BCKDHB, E2 core composed of DBT monomers, and E3 composed of DLD monomers. Associates with the E2 component of BCKDH complex and phosphorylates BCKDHA on Ser-337, leading to conformational changes that interrupt substrate channeling between E1 and E2 and inactivates the BCKDH complex. Phosphorylates ACLY on Ser-455 in response to changes in cellular carbohydrate abundance such as occurs during fasting to feeding metabolic transition. Refeeding stimulates MLXIPL/ChREBP transcription factor, leading to increased BCKDK to PPM1K expression ratio, phosphorylation and activation of ACLY that ultimately results in the generation of malonyl-CoA and oxaloacetate immediate substrates of de novo lipogenesis and glucogenesis, respectively. Recognizes phosphosites having SxxE/D canonical motif.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Homotetramer. Dimerizes through interaction of two opposing nucleotide-binding domains. Interacts with E2 component of the branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) complex. Competes with BCKDK for binding to the E2 component; this interaction is modulated by branched-chain alpha-keto acids. At steady state, BCKDH holoenzyme contains BCKDK and BCKDHA is phosphorylated. In response to high levels of branched-chain alpha-keto acids, the inhibitory BCKDK is replaced by activating PPM1K leading to BCKDHA dephosphorylation and BCAA degradation.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion matrix.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous.
Post-translational modifications. Autophosphorylated.
Disease relevance. Branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase kinase deficiency (BCKDKD) [MIM:614923] A metabolic disorder characterized by autism, epilepsy, intellectual disability, and reduced branched-chain amino acids. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. A diet enriched in branched amino acids (BCAAs) allows to normalize plasma BCAA levels. This suggests that it may be possible to treat patients with mutations in BCKDK with BCAA supplementation.
Activity regulation. Allosterically inhibited by certain thiazoles and thiophenes: thiazoles increase interaction with DBT/BCKDH-E2, whereas thiophenes reduce this interaction. Inhibited by 3,6- dichlorobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (BT2). The ATP binding is mediated by both potassium and magnesium ions.
Pathway. Protein modification.
Similarity. Belongs to the PDK/BCKDK protein kinase family.
