Abstract
The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA, a critical step in metabolism. Sutendra et al. now demonstrate that PDC can translocate from the mitochondria to the nucleus to provide acetyl-CoA necessary for histone acetylation, suggesting a new pathway for mitochondrial-nuclear communication.
