abstract：:Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) specifically phosphorylates the E1alpha subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC). Sequence analysis of cloned PDKs led to the proposal that they are mechanistically related to prokaryotic 2-component His-kinases. The reaction mechanism of protein His-kinases involves auto...
