Proteomic analysis reveals a novel function of the kinase Sat4p in Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondria. [PDF]
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae kinase Sat4p has been originally identified as a protein involved in salt tolerance and stabilization of plasma membrane transporters, implicating a cytoplasmic localization. Our study revealed an additional mitochondrial (mt)

Mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis coordinates oxidative metabolism in mammalian mitochondria
Cells harbor two systems for fatty acid synthesis, one in the cytoplasm (catalyzed by fatty acid synthase, FASN) and one in the mitochondria (mtFAS).

LipoSVM: Prediction of Lysine lipoylation in Proteins based on the Support Vector Machine [PDF]
Background:Lysine lipoylation which is a rare and highly conserved post-translational modification of proteins has been considered as one of the most important processes in the biological field. To obtain a comprehensive understanding of regulatory mechanism of lysine lipoylation, the key is to identify lysine lipoylated sites. The experimental methods

A Lipoylated Metabolic Protein Released by Staphylococcus aureus Suppresses Macrophage Activation [PDF]
The virulence factors of pathogenic microbes often have single functions that permit immune suppression. However, a proportion possess multiple activities and are considered moonlighting proteins. By examining secreted virulence factors of Staphylococcus aureus, we determine that the bacterial lipoic acid synthetase LipA suppresses macrophage ...

Pathogenic variants in GCSH encoding the moonlighting H-protein cause combined Nonketotic Hyperglycinemia and Lipoate Deficiency [PDF]
Maintaining protein lipoylation is vital for cell metabolism. The H-protein encoded by GCSH has a dual role in protein lipoylation required for bioenergetic enzymes including pyruvate dehydrogenase and 2-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, and in the one-carbon

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.

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.

[32] Assay for protein lipoylation reaction
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the assay for protein lipoylation reaction. Lipoate attaches to the ɛ -amino group of the specific lysine residue of the proteins via an amide linkage. The lipoyllysine residue functions as a carrier of intermediates of the reactions and reducing equivalents between the active sites of the components of the ...

Redox‐dependent lipoylation of mitochondrial proteins in
SummaryLipoate scavenging from the human host is essential for malaria parasite survival. Scavenged lipoate is covalently attached to three parasite proteins: the H‐protein and the E2 subunits of branched chain amino acid dehydrogenase (BCDH) and α‐ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (KDH). We show mitochondrial localization for the E2 subunits of BCDH and KDH,
