Apicoplast lipoic acid protein ligase B is not essential for Plasmodium falciparum.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2007
Lipoic acid (LA) is an essential cofactor of alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complexes (KADHs) and the glycine cleavage system. In Plasmodium, LA is attached to the KADHs by organelle-specific lipoylation pathways.

Characterization of Helianthus annuus Lipoic Acid Biosynthesis: The Mitochondrial Octanoyltransferase and Lipoyl Synthase Enzyme System

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Lipoic acid (LA, 6,8-dithiooctanoic acid) is a sulfur containing coenzyme essential for the activity of several key enzymes involved in oxidative and single carbon metabolism in most bacteria and eukaryotes. LA is synthetized by the concerted activity of

LipoFNT: Lipoylation Sites Identification with Flexible Neural Tree

open access: yesComplexity, 2019
Lysine lipoylation is a special type of posttranslational modification in both prokaryotes’ and eukaryotes’ proteomics researches. Such a modification takes part in several significant biological processions and plays a key role in the cellular level. In

Sirtuin Lipoamidase Activity Is Conserved in Bacteria as a Regulator of Metabolic Enzyme Complexes

open access: yesmBio, 2017
Lipoic acid is an essential metabolic cofactor added as a posttranslational modification on several multimeric enzyme complexes. These protein complexes, evolutionarily conserved from bacteria to humans, are core regulators of cellular metabolism.

Methionine restriction constrains lipoylation and activates mitochondria for nitrogenic synthesis of amino acids

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Methionine restriction (MR) provides metabolic benefits in many organisms. However, mechanisms underlying the MR-induced effect remain incompletely understood. Here, we show in the budding yeast S.

Functional Assessment of Lipoyltransferase-1 Deficiency in Cells, Mice, and Humans

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) link metabolic defects to human phenotypes. Modern genomics has accelerated IEM discovery, but assessing the impact of genomic variants is still challenging.

Ferroptosis inducers enhanced cuproptosis induced by copper ionophores in primary liver cancer

open access: yesJournal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2023
Introduction Cuproptosis and ferroptosis are the two newly defined metal-related regulated cell death. However, the crosstalk between cuproptosis and ferroptosis is obscure.

Materials‐Guided Gene‐Ionizable Lipid Nanoparticles to Reverse Iron‐Associated Immune Resistance in Renal Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iron overload is a common metabolic disturbance in cancer and contributes to poor outcomes in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), yet its effects on the tumour immune microenvironment remain unclear. Here we identify a previously unrecognized immunosuppressive axis in which iron overload downregulates the palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC12 in CD8+ T cells ...

A Multi-Target Pharmacological Correction of a Lipoyltransferase LIPT1 Gene Mutation in Patient-Derived Cellular Models

open access: yesAntioxidants
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 ...

Cuproptosis predicts the risk and clinical outcomes of lung adenocarcinoma

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2022
Copper is an essential microelement for the body and a necessary coregulator for enzymatic reactions, yet an unbalanced copper level promotes reactive oxidation and cytotoxicity, which ultimately induces cell death.
