Mice deficient in dihydrolipoyl succinyl transferase show increased vulnerability to mitochondrial toxins

The activity of a key mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme, α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (KGDHC), declines in many neurodegenerative diseases. KGDHC consists of three subunits. The dihydrolipoyl succinyl transferase (DLST) component is unique to KGDHC. DLST+/− mice showed reduced m...
