2-oxoadipate dehydrogenase complex component E1

Definition:

2-oxoadipate dehydrogenase (E1a) component of the 2-oxoadipate dehydrogenase complex (OADHC). Participates in the first step, rate limiting for the overall conversion of 2-oxoadipate (alpha-ketoadipate) to glutaryl-CoA and CO(2) catalyzed by the whole OADHC. Catalyzes the irreversible decarboxylation of 2-oxoadipate via the thiamine diphosphate (ThDP) cofactor and subsequent transfer of the decarboxylated acyl intermediate on an oxidized dihydrolipoyl group that is covalently amidated to the E2 enzyme (dihydrolipoyllysine-residue succinyltransferase or DLST) (Probable). Can catalyze the decarboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate in vitro, but at a much lower rate than 2-oxoadipate. Responsible for the last step of L-lysine, L-hydroxylysine and L-tryptophan catabolism with the common product being 2-oxoadipate (Probable).
