Reaction: ATP + [3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] = ADP + [3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] phosphate
Glossary: lipoyl group
Other name(s): BCK; BCKD kinase; BCODH kinase; branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase kinase; branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase kinase; branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase kinase; branched-chain oxo acid dehydrogenase kinase (phosphorylating); STK2
Systematic name: ATP:[3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] phosphotransferase
Comments: The enzyme has no activating compound but is specific for its substrate. It is a mitochondrial enzyme associated with the branched-chain 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase complex. Phosphorylation inactivates EC 1.2.4.4, 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate dehydrogenase (2-methylpropanoyl-transferring).
