Popis: The roles of lysine-54 (K54) and glutamate-192 (E192) of human dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3) in stabilizing the thiolate-FAD intermediate during electron transfer were investigated by site-directed mutagenesis. Recombinant human E3s, wild-type, K54E, S53K54-K53S54 (SK-KS), and E192Q, were overexpressed, purified, and characterized. Only K54E and SK-KS E3s had about 25% less bound FAD compared to wild-type, implicating that K54 is crucial for the protein-FAD interaction. The specific activities of all mutant E3s were markedly decreased (
