synthesis | expression of the structural genes for all three subunits of the Escherichia coli 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The Escherichia coli lipoic-acid scavenging enzyme is coexpressed to enable cytosolic lipoylation of the complex, which is required for its enzymatic activity. In vivo cytosolic activity of the complex is tested byconstructing a reporter strain in which the essential metabolite 5-aminolevulinic acid can only be synthetized from cytosolic, and not mitochondrial, succinyl-CoA. In the resulting strain, complementation of 5-aminolevulinic acid auxotrophy depends on activation of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex by lipoic acid addition | Escherichia coli |
