Engineered bacterial lipoate protein ligase A (lplA) restores lipoylation in cell models of lipoylation deficiency. [PDF]
Protein lipoylation, a vital lysine post-translational modification, plays a crucial role in the function of key mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymatic complexes. In eukaryotes, lipoyl post-translational modification synthesis occurs exclusively through de novo pathways, relying on lipoyl synthesis/transfer enzymes, dependent upon ...

Protein lipoylation in cancer: metabolic reprogramming and therapeutic potential [PDF]
Protein lipoylation, a mitochondria-specific post-translational modification (PTM) evolutionarily conserved from bacteria to mammals, plays critical role in metabolic processes. In humans, four identified lipoylated proteins serve as essential components

A unique lipoylation system in the Archaea [PDF]
Members of the 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase multienzyme complex family play a key role in the pathways of central metabolism. Post-translational lipoylation of the dihydrolipoyl acyltransferase component of these complexes is essential for their activity, the lipoyllysine moiety performing the transfer of substrates and intermediates between the different ...

ABHD11 maintains 2-oxoglutarate metabolism by preserving functional lipoylation of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex [PDF]
2-oxoglutarate links mitochondrial metabolism to oxygen sensing, gene transcription and epigenetic modifications. Here, the authors describe a mutagenesis screen to find genes that control 2-oxoglutarate levels, and identify ABHD11 as a mitochondrial ...

A Multi-Target Pharmacological Correction of a Lipoyltransferase LIPT1 Gene Mutation in Patient-Derived Cellular Models [PDF]
Mutations in the lipoyltransferase 1 (LIPT1) gene are rare inborn errors of metabolism leading to a fatal condition characterized by lipoylation defects of the 2-ketoacid dehydrogenase complexes causing early-onset seizures, psychomotor retardation ...

Boosting energy metabolism and biosynthesis in diverse organisms by a common bacterial salvage lipoylation protein [PDF]
Lipoylation is a highly conserved post-translational modification (PTM) crucial for energy metabolism enzymes, with distinct pathways across organisms. Whereas bacteria like Escherichia coli inherit both salvage and de novo pathways, only the latter is ...
