PYRUVATE DEHYDROGENASE PHOSPHATASE CATALYTIC SUBUNIT 2; PDP2


Alternative titles; symbols

KIAA1348


HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: PDP2

Cytogenetic location: 16q22.1   Genomic coordinates (GRCh38) : 16:66,880,515-66,891,101 (from NCBI)


TEXT

Description

Pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatases (EC 3.1.3.43) are mitochondrial serine phosphatases that dephosphorylate and activate the inactive phosphorylated pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Unlike PDP1, which has both catalytic (PDP1; 605993) and regulatory (PDPR; 617835) subunits, PDP2 consists of only a catalytic subunit (Kato and Kato, 2010).


Cloning and Expression

By sequencing clones obtained from a size-fractionated fetal brain cDNA library, Nagase et al. (2000) cloned PDP2, which they designated KIAA1348. The deduced 545-amino acid protein shares 84% identity with rat Pdp2. RT-PCR ELISA detected PDP2 expression in all adult and fetal tissues and specific adult brain regions examined. Expression was highest in adult ovary and lowest in adult spleen and skeletal muscle.


Gene Function

Huang et al. (1998) found that both recombinant rat Pdp1 and Pdp2 showed high specificity for the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and little to no activity for the related mitochondrial multienzyme complex, branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase (see 608348). However, the phosphatases showed significantly different kinetics and dependence on cofactors. Pdp2 showed almost 10-fold lower sensitivity to Mg(2+) than Pdp1, and only Pdp1 was regulated by Ca(2+). Pdp2 also showed sensitivity to spermine, which had no effect on Pdp1.


Mapping

By radiation hybrid analysis, Nagase et al. (2000) mapped the PDP2 gene to chromosome 16. Hartz (2013) mapped the PDP2 gene to chromosome 16q22.1 based on the alignment of the PDP2 sequence (GenBank AB037769) with the genomic sequence (GRCh37).
