Lipoyl-E2-PDH Gets a Second Job [PDF]
Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) plays a well-known metabolic role inside cells. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Grayczyk et al. (2017) show that the bacterial pathogen Staphylococcus aureus unexpectedly secretes and repurposes the lipoylated E2 subunit of PDH to suppress TLR-mediated activation of host macrophages by bacterial lipoproteins.

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.

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.

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

Isolation of the Cadmium Derivative of Lipoyl Dehydrogenase
Abstract Reduced lipoamide dehydrogenase reacts with cadmium ion to form a moderately stable compound characterized by 1 g atom of cadmium bound per mole of flavin adenine dinucleotide, a modified spectrum in the visible region, and altered reactivity with electron acceptor substrates.

Crystal structure of lipoate‐bound lipoate ligase 1, LipL1, from Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]
Plasmodium falciparum lipoate protein ligase 1 (PfLipL1) is an ATP‐dependent ligase that belongs to the biotin/lipoate A/B protein ligase family (PFAM PF03099).

Cuproptosis predicts the risk and clinical outcomes of lung adenocarcinoma
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.
