Biotin/lipoate A/B protein ligase family. 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. Lipoate-protein ligase A (LPLA) catalyzes the formation of an amide linkage between lipoic acid and a specific lysine residue in lipoate dependent enzymes. The unusual biosynthesis pathway of lipoic acid is mechanistically intertwined with attachment of the cofactor.

Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:  No Conserved Features/Sites Found for BPL_LplA_LipB
