Lipoyl domain of the dihydrolipoyl acyltransferase component (E2) of 2-oxo acid dehydrogenases. 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase multienzyme complexes, like pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH) and branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase (BCDH), contain at least three different enzymes, 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase (E1), dihydrolipoyl acyltransferase (E2) and dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3) and play a key role in redox regulation. E2, the central component of the complex, catalyzes the transfer of the acyl group of CoA from E1 to E3 via reductive acetylation of a lipoyl group covalently attached to a lysine residue.
