Also known as E1alpha
Summary
PDHA1 (pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 subunit alpha 1, HGNC:8806) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xp22.12, encoding Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 component subunit alpha, somatic form, mitochondrial (P08559). Together with PDHB forms the heterotetrameric E1 subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex. It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).
The pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial multienzyme complex that catalyzes the overall conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and CO(2), and provides the primary link between glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. The PDH complex is composed of multiple copies of three enzymatic components: pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1), dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (E2) and lipoamide dehydrogenase (E3). The E1 enzyme is a heterotetramer of two alpha and two beta subunits. This gene encodes the E1 alpha 1 subunit containing the E1 active site, and plays a key role in the function of the PDH complex. Mutations in this gene are associated with pyruvate dehydrogenase E1-alpha deficiency and X-linked Leigh syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Together with PDHB forms the heterotetrameric E1 subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex. The PDH complex catalyzes the overall conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and CO(2), and thereby links cytoplasmic glycolysis and the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. It contains multiple copies of three enzymatic components: pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1), dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (E2) and dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3). The E1 subunit catalyzes both the thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP)-dependent decarboxylation of pyruvate and the reductive acetylation of a lipoyl group covalently linked to the lipoyl-bearing domains of E2.
Subunit / interactions. Heterotetramer of two PDHA1 and two PDHB subunits. The heterotetramer interacts with DLAT, and is part of the multimeric pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex that contains multiple copies of pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1), dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (DLAT, E2) and lipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD, E3). These subunits are bound to an inner core composed of about 48 DLAT and 12 PDHX molecules.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion matrix.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation at Ser-232, Ser-293 and Ser-300 by PDK family kinases inactivates the enzyme; for this phosphorylation at a single site is sufficient. Dephosphorylation at all three sites, i.e. at Ser-232, Ser-293 and Ser-300, is required for reactivation. Acetylation alters the phosphorylation pattern. Deacetylated by SIRT3.
Disease relevance. Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1-alpha deficiency (PDHAD) [MIM:312170] An enzymatic defect causing primary lactic acidosis in children. It is associated with a broad clinical spectrum ranging from fatal lactic acidosis in the newborn to chronic neurologic dysfunction with structural abnormalities in the central nervous system without systemic acidosis. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Pyruvate dehydrogenase activity is inhibited by phosphorylation of PDHA1; it is reactivated by dephosphorylation.

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 101 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
