Gene Group (FlyBase)
UNCLASSIFIED ACETYLTRANSFERASES -
This group comprises acetyltransferases that do not classify under other groups in FlyBase.
BRANCHED-CHAIN ALPHA-KETOACID DEHYDROGENASE COMPLEX -
The Branched-Chain Alpha-Ketoacid Dehydrogenase Complex is organized around a 24-meric cubic core of the dihydrolipoyl transacylase (E2) with multiple (~6-12) copies of the branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase (E1), ~6 copies of the dimeric E3. The E1 component is a thiamine diphosphate-dependent enzyme consisting of two alpha subunits and two beta subunits. This multienzyme complex functions in the mitochondrial matrix to catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of branched-chain alpha-ketoacids derived from the branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine.

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

      FlyBase curator comment: Referred to as 'DBT' in FBrf0246523, but changed this to 'Dbct' for the FlyBase symbol to minimise confusion with the 'dco' gene, for which 'Dbt' is a well-known and often-used synonym.
