This is the C-terminal domain of a bacterial lipoate protein ligase. There is no conservation between this C-terminus and that of vertebrate lipoate protein ligase C-termini, but both are associated with the domain BPL_LipA_LipB Pfam:PF03099, further upstream. This domain is required for adenylation of lipoic acid by lipoate protein ligases. The domain is not required for transfer of lipoic acid from the adenylate to the lipoyl domain. Upon adenylation, this domain rotates 180 degrees away from the active site cleft. Therefore, the domain does not interact with the lipoyl domain during transfer. [1]. 16384580.

This family includes biotin protein ligase, lipoate-protein ligase A and B. Biotin is covalently attached at the active site of certain enzymes that transfer carbon dioxide from bicarbonate to organic acids to form cellular metabolites. Biotin protein ligase (BPL) is the enzyme responsible for attaching biotin to a specific lysine at the active site of biotin enzymes. Each organism probably has only one BPL. Biotin attachment is a two step reaction that results in the formation of an amide linkage between the carboxyl group of biotin and the epsilon-amino group of the modified lysine [2]. Lipoate-protein ligase A (LPLA) catalyses the formation of an amide linkage between lipoic acid and a specific lysine residue in lipoate dependent enzymes [3]. The unusual biosynthesis pathway of lipoic acid is mechanistically intertwined with attachment of the cofactor [5]. [1]. 1409631.

lipoate--protein ligase A catalyzes both the ATP-dependent activation of exogenously supplied lipoate to lipoyl-AMP and the transfer of the activated lipoyl onto the lipoyl domains of lipoate-dependent enzymes; also catalyzes very poorly the transfer of lipoyl and octanoyl moiety from their acyl carrier protein

Prokaryotic members of family TIGR00545 are lipoate--protein ligase, which first activates lipoic acid to lipoyl-AMP and then attaches it to the specific Lys side-chain of lipoate-dependent enzymes. Note that in mammalian systems, only the second half of the reaction is performed by this protein; biosynthesis of lipoyl-AMP is performed by a mitochondrial medium-chain acyl-CoA synthetase.
