lipoate synthase This enzyme is an iron-sulfur protein. It is localized to mitochondria in yeast and Arabidopsis. It generates lipoic acid, a thiol antioxidant that is linked to a specific Lys as prosthetic group for the pyruvate and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complexes and the glycine-cleavage system. The family shows strong sequence conservation. [Biosynthesis of cofactors, prosthetic groups, and carriers, Lipoate]
