The effects of branched‐chain α‐ketoacids on flux through and activity state of the branched‐chain α‐ketoacid dehydrogenase complex were studied in hepatocytes prepared from chow‐fed, starved, and low‐protein‐diet‐fed rats. Very low concentrations of α‐ketoisocaproate caused a dramatic stimulation (50% activation at 20 μM) of α‐ketoisovalerate decarboxylation in hepatocytes from low‐protein‐fed rats. α‐Keto‐β‐methylvalerate was also effective, but less so than α‐ketoisocaproate. α‐Ketoisocaproate did not stimulate α‐ketoisovalerate decarboxylation by hepatocytes from chow‐fed or starved rats. To a smaller degree, α‐keto‐β‐methylvalerate and α‐ketoisovalerate stimulated α‐ketoisocaproate decarboxylation by hepatocytes from low‐protein‐fed rats. The implied order of potency of stimulation of flux through branched‐chain α‐ketoacid dehydrogenase was α‐ketoisocaproate > α‐keto‐β‐methylvalerate > α‐ketosiovalerate, i.e., the same order of potency of these compounds as branched‐chain α‐ketoacid dehydrogenase kinase inhibitors. Fluoride, known to inhibit branched‐chain α‐ketoacid dehydrogenase phosphatase, largely prevented α‐ketoisocaproate and α‐chloroisocaproate activation of flux through the branched‐chain α‐ketoacid dehydrogenase. Assay of the branched‐chain α‐ketoacid complex in cell‐free extracts of hepatocytes isolated from low‐protein‐diet‐fed rats confirmed that α‐ketoacids affected the activity state of the complex. Branched‐chain α‐ketoacids failed to activate flux in hepatocytes prepared from chow‐fed and starved rats because essentially all of the complex was already in the dephosphorylated, active state. These findings indicate that inhibition of branched‐chain α‐ketoacid dehydrogenase kinase activity by branched‐chain α‐ketoacids is important for regulation of the activity state of hepatic branched‐chain α‐ketoacid dehydrogenase.
