Description | This domain is found in the N terminus of lipoyl synthases.Lipoyl synthase is an iron-sulphur protein [ ]. It is localised 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. | Name | Lipoyl synthase, N-terminal |
