    -  Comments
  • FUNCTION:Catalyzes the radical-mediated insertion of two sulfur atoms into the C-6 and C-8 positions of the octanoyl moiety bound to the lipoyl domains of lipoate-dependent enzymes, thereby converting the octanoylated domains into lipoylated derivatives. Free octanoate is not a substrate for lipA.
  • CATALYTIC ACTIVITY:Protein N(6)-(octanoyl)lysine + 2 sulfur + 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine = protein N(6)-(lipoyl)lysine + 2 L-methionine + 2 5'-deoxyadenosine.
  • COFACTOR:Binds 2 4Fe-4S clusters per subunit. One cluster is coordinated with 3 cysteines and an exchangeable S-adenosyl-L-methionine.
  • ENZYME REGULATION:Inhibited by the AdoMet analog S-adenosyl homocysteine.
  • PATHWAY:Protein modification; protein lipoylation via endogenous pathway; protein N(6)-(lipoyl)lysine from octanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein]:step 2/2.
  • SUBUNIT:Monomer or homodimer.
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION:Cytoplasm.
  • MISCELLANEOUS:The source of sulfurs is the lipA protein itself, most likely one 4Fe-4S cluster.
  • SIMILARITY:Belongs to the radical SAM superfamily. Lipoyl synthase family.
