A review is presented of 22 published cases of verified or probable mitochondrial 2-methylacetoacetyl-CoA thiolase deficiency, a disorder of isoleucine and ketone body metabolism. The clinical expression, characterized by ketoacidosis, vomiting and lethargy, is highly variable. Typical age of onset

Pathways regulating threonine, methionine and isoleucine metabolism are very efficiently interconnected in plants. As both threonine and methionine serve as substrates for isoleucine synthesis, their synthesis and catabolism under different developmental and environmental conditions also influence isoleucine availability. Together, methionine

P4-ATPases (flippases) translocate specific phospholipids such as phosphatidylserine from the exoplasmic leaflet of the cell membrane to the cytosolic leaflet, upholding an essential membrane asymmetry. The mechanism of flipping this giant substrate has remained an enigma. We have investigated the

Three inborn errors have been identified in the pathway of isoleucine degradation. Deficiency of beta-ketothiolase (beta-KT, also known as T2, mitochondrial acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase and acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 1) is a well-described disorder which presents with acute episodic ketoacidosis. In contrast, short/branched-chain

The initial catabolic steps of isoleucine by mammals has been misunderstood and misapprehended in the scientific literature for many years. The suggestion that the interconversion of isoleucine and alloisoleucine occurs through the keto-enol racemization of their respective transaminated alpha-keto acids
