Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityProtein N(6)-(octanoyl)lysine + 2 sulfur + 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine = protein N(6)-(lipoyl)lysine + 2 L- methionine + 2 5'-deoxyadenosine. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP- Rule:MF_03123}.
CofactorNote=Binds 2 4Fe-4S clusters per subunit. One cluster is coordinated with 3 cysteines and an exchangeable S-adenosyl-L- methionine. ;
FunctionCatalyzes 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.
PathwayProtein modification; protein lipoylation via endogenous pathway; protein N(6)-(lipoyl)lysine from octanoyl-[acyl-carrier- protein]: step 2/2.
SimilarityBelongs to the radical SAM superfamily. Lipoyl synthase family.
Subcellular LocationMitochondrion {ECO:0000256|HAMAP- Rule:MF_03123}.
