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

LipoFNT: Lipoylation Sites Identification with Flexible Neural Tree
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

Library of Apicomplexan Metabolic Pathways: a manually curated database for metabolic pathways of apicomplexan parasites. [PDF]
The Library of Apicomplexan Metabolic Pathways (LAMP, http://www.llamp.net) is a web database that provides near complete mapping from genes to the central metabolic functions for some of the prominent intracellular parasites of the phylum Apicomplexa ...

Abstract The sensitivity of lipoyl dehydrogenase to phenylmercuric acetate, a reagent for —SH groups, has been investigated. Titration of available sulfhydryl groups in the enzyme brings about inactivation in the reduced diphosphopyridine nucleotide-lipoyl reductase activity, while activity with the artificial hydrogen acceptor 2,6-dichloroindophenol ...

Ferroptosis inducers enhanced cuproptosis induced by copper ionophores in primary liver cancer
Introduction Cuproptosis and ferroptosis are the two newly defined metal-related regulated cell death. However, the crosstalk between cuproptosis and ferroptosis is obscure.

Crystallographic snapshots of sulfur insertion by lipoyl synthase [PDF]
Significance Lipoic acid, an enzyme cofactor in central metabolism and a livestock feed supplement, is produced on an industrial scale by a costly multistep synthesis. Nature makes lipoic acid in one step by the chemically challenging addition of two sulfur atoms to an inert fatty acid chain.

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