ENZYME entry: EC 6.3.1.20

Accepted Name
Lipoate--protein ligase.
Alternative Name(s)
Lipoate protein ligase.
Lipoate-protein ligase A.
LPL.
Reaction catalysed
ATP + (R)-lipoate + a [lipoyl-carrier protein]-L-lysine <=> a [lipoyl-carrier protein]-N(6)-(lipoyl)lysine + AMP + diphosphate
Cofactor(s)
Mg(2+).
Comment(s)
  • 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.
