Phenotypes of a mutant
the mutant tends to acquire suppressor mutations that result in improved growth [Pubmed|28189581]
''pdhA'' is essential according to Kobayashi ''et al''. [Pubmed|12682299], non-essential according to [Pubmed|28189581]
the mutant grows slowly but is viable [Pubmed|24825009]
depletion of [gene|953DE0F0B81894ECFF4C0693511AC238BF3D0C0A|pdhA] and deletion of [gene|B317D7E51824DD70EF84E4D5D7290D601BF4FAB6|ezrA] have a strong synthetic defect in [wiki|cell division] [Pubmed|24825009]
The protein
Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity
[dihydrolipoyllysine-residue acetyltransferase]-(R)-N6-lipoyl-L-lysine + H+ + pyruvate --> [dihydrolipoyllysine-residue acetyltransferase]-(R)-N6-(S8-acetyldihydrolipoyl)-L-lysine + CO2 (according to UniProt)
