FunFam 32550: Lipoate-protein ligase a related

There are 3 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Lipoyl(octanoyl) transferase. [EC: 2.3.1.181]
Octanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + protein = protein N(6)-(octanoyl)lysine + [acyl-carrier-protein].
  • The first committed step in the biosynthesis of lipoyl cofactor.
  • The lipoyl cofactor is essential for the function of several key enzymes involved in oxidative metabolism, as it converts apoprotein into the biologically active holoprotein.
  • Examples of such lipoylated proteins include pyruvate dehydrogenase (E(2) domain), 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (E(2) domain), the branched-chain 2-oxoacid dehydrogenases and the glycine cleavage system (H protein).
  • Lipoyl-ACP can also act as a substrate although octanoyl-ACP is likely to be the true substrate.
  • The other enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of lipoyl cofactor is EC 2.8.1.8.
  • An alternative lipoylation pathway involves EC 2.7.7.63, which can lipoylate apoproteins using exogenous lipoic acid (or its analogs).

    Lipoate--protein ligase. [EC: 6.3.1.20]
    ATP + (R)-lipoate + a [lipoyl-carrier protein]-L-lysine = a [lipoyl- carrier protein]-N(6)-(lipoyl)lysine + AMP + diphosphate.
    • This enzyme participates in lipoate salvage, and is responsible for lipoylation in the presence of exogenous lipoic acid.
    • The enzyme attaches lipoic acid to the lipoyl domains of certain key enzymes involved in oxidative metabolism, including pyruvate dehydrogenase (E(2) domain), 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (E(2) domain), the branched-chain 2-oxoacid dehydrogenases and the glycine cleavage system (H protein).
    • Lipoylation is essential for the function of these enzymes.
    • The enzyme can also use octanoate instead of lipoate.
    • Formerly EC 2.7.7.63.
