Also known as PDHE1BE1beta

Summary

PDHB (pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 subunit beta, HGNC:8808) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3p14.3, encoding Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 component subunit beta, mitochondrial (P11177). Together with PDHA1 forms the heterotetrameric E1 subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex.

The pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial multienzyme complex that catalyzes the overall conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and carbon dioxide, 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 beta subunit. Mutations in this gene are associated with pyruvate dehydrogenase E1-beta deficiency. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 10)

  • Data indicate that PDH deficiency in our patient involves a post-translational modification in which EGFR-PTK-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of the E1beta protein leads to enhanced ubiquitination followed by proteasome-mediated degradation. (PMID:17923481)
  • clinical findings are similar to those of PDHA1 deficiency, except that ataxia was more frequent in PDHA1 cases and consanguinity was found only in PDHB families. (PMID:18164639)
  • Species specificity in the interaction between hE1beta and hE2 in pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. (PMID:18206651)
  • Sequencing of PDHB reveals a homozygous point mutation (c.302T>C), causing a predicted amino acid change in patient 1. Patient 2 is compound heterozygote for mutations c.301A>G (p.M101V) and c.313G>A (p.R105Q). (PMID:19924563)
  • PHD3 depletion did not affect the expression of the PDH-E1alpha, E1beta, and E2 subunits, or the phosphorylation status of E1alpha, but destabilized the PDH complex (PDC), resulting in less functional PDC. (PMID:25088999)
  • Data indicate that (pro)renin receptor ATP6PA2 interacts with the E1 beta subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase and controlling its protein stability (PMID:25720494)
  • PDHB was downregulated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. Forced expression of PDHB in NPC cells inhibited cell growth and migration, while knocking down the expression of PDHB promoted the growth, migration, and tumorigenesis of NPC cells. PDHB inhibited ERK signaling and cell growth driven by RasV12. (PMID:26857147)
  • Building on evidence that PDH activity depends on the stability of a multi-protein PDH complex, the authors found that the PDH-E1beta subunit of the PDH complex is downregulated to inhibit PDH activity under conditions of prolonged hypoxia which establishs the specific mechanism through which PDH acts as an oncogenic factor by tuning glycolytic metabolism in cancer cells. (PMID:29436427)
  • Pyruvate dehydrogenase B regulates myogenic differentiation via the FoxP1-Arih2 axis. (PMID:36564038)

Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 component subunit beta, mitochondrial — P11177 (reviewed: P11177)

All UniProt accessions (4): P11177, A0A384MDR8, C9J634, F8WF02

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Together with PDHA1 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. Interacts with DLAT.

Subcellular location. Mitochondrion matrix.

Disease relevance. Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1-beta deficiency (PDHBD) [MIM:614111] 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.
