Lipoylated Peptides and Proteins

2015
Lipoic acid is a heterocyclic sulfur-containing derivative of octanoic acid that is characterized by a 1,2-dithiolane ring. Found in nature as an essential protein cofactor, lipoic acid is implicated in cellular metabolic reactions. In particular, lipoylation is an essential posttranslational modification involved in cellular energetic metabolism ...

Studies on the reaction mechanism of lipoyl dehydrogenase

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1961
Abstract A comparison of the rates of reaction of lipoyl dehydrogenase with dihydrolipoamide, reduced diphosphopyridine nucleotide and oxidized acetyl pyridine diphosphopyridine nucleotide have shown the involvement of the enzyme flavin in the transhydrogenase reaction catalyzed by this enzyme.

Multiplicity and Origin of Isoenzymes of Lipoyl Dehydrogenase

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1972
Reports in the literature on the number of isoenzymes of lipoyl dehydrogenase in mammalian heart mitochondria vary from 2 to 13 and one report claims that no isoenzymes occur in vivo. The present paper provides evidence that 6 main isoenzymes and 2 minor ones of lipoyl dehydrogenase occur in beef and pig heart, 3 of the main components being associated

Determination and properties of erythrocyte lipoyl dehydrogenase

Mikrochimica Acta, 1975
Erythrocyte lipoyl dehydrogenase activity has been determined using the Pd(II)-1,3-bis(2′-pyridyl)1,2-diaza-prop-2-ene colorimetric method. Properties of the red cell enzyme are described and normal values for erythrocyte lipoyl dehydrogenase are given. The possible role of this enzyme in the erythrocytes is discussed.

Synthesis and Tribological Investigation of Lipoyl Glycerides

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2014
Lipoyl glycerides were synthesized by enzymatic transesterification of lipoic acid with high-oleic sunflower oil in 2-methyl-2-butanol solvent. The synthesis gave a crude product mixture comprising unreacted lipoic acid, free fatty acids, and several lipoyl glyceride structures of varying lipoic acid substitution.

Lipoylation of E2 component

1996
Lipoic acid is a prosthetic group of the acyltransferase (E2) components of the pyruvate, (α-ketoglutarate, and branched chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase complexes, X component (the dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase-binding protein) of the eucaryotic pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, and H-protein of the glycine cleavage system. The lipoyl moiety is attached

Characterization of a Radical Intermediate in Lipoyl Cofactor Biosynthesis

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2015
Lipoyl synthase (LipA) catalyzes the final step in the biosynthesis of the lipoyl cofactor, the insertion of two sulfur atoms at C6 and C8 of an n-octanoyl chain. LipA is a member of the radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) superfamily of enzymes and uses two [4Fe-4S] clusters to catalyze its transformation.

Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) possesses mitochondrial and plastidial lipoyl synthases capable of increasing lipoylation levels when expressed in bacteria

Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2020
Lipoic acid (LA) and its reduced form (dihydrolipoic acid, DHLA) have unique antioxidant properties among such molecules. Moreover, after a process termed lipoylation, LA is an essential prosthetic group covalently-attached to several key multi-subunit enzymatic complexes involved in primary metabolism, including E2 subunits of pyruvate dehydrogenase ...

Protein lipoylation: mitochondria, cuproptosis, and beyond

Trends in Biochemical Sciences
Protein lipoylation, a crucial post-translational modification (PTM), plays a pivotal role in mitochondrial function and emerges as a key player in cell death through cuproptosis. This novel copper-driven cell death pathway is activated by excessive copper ions binding to lipoylated mitochondrial proteins, disrupting energy production and causing ...

High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of lipoamidase (lipoyl-X hydrolase) activity with a novel substrate, lipoyl-6-aminoquinoline

Journal of Chromatography B: Biomedical Sciences and Applications, 1996
An HPLC lipoamidase (lipoyl-X hydrolase) assay method has been developed, which uses a novel fluorescent substrate, lipoyl-6-aminoquinoline (LAQ). LAQ is synthesized from lipoic acid and 6-aminoquinoline (AQ) through lipoyl chloride as an intermediate and is conveniently purified by washing with chloroform-methanol.
