Lipoic acid is an essential enzyme cofactor that requires covalent attachment to its cognate proteins to confer biological activity. The major lipoylated proteins are highly conserved enzymes of central metabolism, the pyruvate and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complexes. The classical lipoate ligase uses ATP to activate the lipoate carboxyl group followed by attachment of the cofactor to a specific subunit of each dehydrogenase complex, and it was assumed that all lipoate attachment proceeded by this mechanism. However, our previous work indicated that Escherichia coli could form lipoylated proteins in the absence of detectable ATP-dependent ligase activity raising the possibility of a class of enzyme that attaches lipoate to the dehydrogenase complexes by a different mechanism. We now report that E. coli and mitochondria contain lipoate transferases that use lipoyl-acyl carrier protein as the lipoate donor. This finding demonstrates a direct link between fatty acid synthesis and lipoate attachment and also provides the first direct demonstration of a role for the enigmatic acyl carrier proteins of mitochondria. << Less

Lipoic acid is synthesized from octanoic acid by insertion of sulfur atoms at carbons 6 and 8 and is covalently attached to a pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) subunit. We show that sulfur atoms can be inserted into octanoyl moieties attached to a PDH subunit or a derived domain. Escherichia coli lipB mutants grew well when supplemented with octanoate in place of lipoate. Octanoate growth required both lipoate protein ligase (LplA) and LipA, the sulfur insertion protein, suggesting that LplA attached octanoate to the dehydrogenase and LipA then converted the octanoate to lipoate. This pathway was tested by labeling a PDH domain with deuterated octanoate in an E. coli strain devoid of LipA activity. The labeled octanoyl domain was converted to lipoylated domain upon restoration of LipA. Moreover, octanoyl domain and octanoyl-PDH were substrates for sulfur insertion in vitro. << Less

Lipoic acid is a sulfur-containing 8-carbon fatty acid that functions as a central cofactor in multienzyme complexes that are involved in the oxidative decarboxylation of glycine and several alpha-keto acids. In its functional form, it is bound covalently in an amide linkage to the epsilon-amino group of a conserved lysine residue of the "lipoyl bearing subunit," resulting in a long "swinging arm" that shuttles intermediates among the requisite active sites. In Escherichia coli and many other organisms, the lipoyl cofactor can be synthesized endogenously. The 8-carbon fatty-acyl chain is constructed via the type II fatty acid biosynthetic pathway as an appendage to the acyl carrier protein (ACP). Lipoyl(octanoyl)transferase (LipB) transfers the octanoyl chain from ACP to the target lysine acceptor, generating the substrate for lipoyl synthase (LS), which subsequently catalyzes insertion of both sulfur atoms into the C-6 and C-8 positions of the octanoyl chain. In this study, we present a three-step isolation procedure that results in a 14-fold purification of LipB to >95% homogeneity in an overall yield of 25%. We also show that the protein catalyzes the transfer of the octanoyl group from octanoyl-ACP to apo-H protein, which is the lipoyl bearing subunit of the glycine cleavage system. The specific activity of the purified protein is 0.541 U mg(-1), indicating a turnover number of approximately 0.2 s(-1), and the apparent Km values for octanoyl-ACP and apo-H protein are 10.2+/-4.4 and 13.2+/-2.9 microM, respectively. << Less

The lipB gene of Escherichia coli encodes an enzyme (LipB) that transfers the octanoyl moiety of octanoyl-acyl carrier protein (octanoyl-ACP) to the lipoyl domains of the 2-oxo acid dehydrogenases and the H subunit of glycine cleavage enzyme. We report that the LipB reaction proceeds through an acyl-enzyme intermediate in which the octanoyl moiety forms a thioester bond with the thiol of residue C169. The intermediate was catalytically competent in that the octanoyl group of the purified octanoylated LipB was transferred either to an 87-residue lipoyl domain derived from E. coli pyruvate dehydrogenase or to ACP (in the reversal of the physiological reaction). The octanoylated LipB linkage was cleaved by thiol reagents and by neutral hydroxylamine, strongly suggesting a thioester bond. Separation and mass spectral analyses of the peptides of the unmodified and octanoylated proteins showed that each of the assigned peptides of the two proteins had identical masses, indicating that none of these peptides were octanoylated. However, the one major peptide that we failed to recover was that predicted to contain all three LipB cysteine residues. These three cysteine residues were therefore targeted for site-directed mutagenesis and only C169 was found to be essential for LipB function in vivo. The C169S protein had no detectable activity whereas the C169A protein retained trace activity. Surprisingly, both proteins lacking C169 formed an octanoyl-LipB species, although neither was catalytically competent. The octanoyl-LipB species formed by the C169S protein was resistant to neutral hydroxylamine treatment, consistent with formation of an ester linkage to the serine hydroxyl group. The octanoyl-C169A LipB species was probably acylated at C147. LipB species that lacked all three cysteine residues also formed a catalytically incompetent octanoyl adduct, indicating the presence of a reactive side chain other than a cysteine thiol that lies adjacent to the active site. << Less
