Lipoate is an essential cofactor for two enzymes from energy metabolism (alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase and pyruvate dehydrogenase) and three from amino acid metabolism (branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase, 2-oxoadipate dehydrogenase, and the glycine cleavage system). Lipoate synthesis in mitochondria requires three steps. In the third step, mitochondrial lipoyltransferase 1 (LIPT1) catalyses the transfer of a lipoyl group from lipoyl-K107-GCSH to lysine residue(s) of lipoate-dependent enzymes (Fujiwara et al. 1999). Defects in LIPT1 reduce lipoylation of pyruvate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, causing a cofactor disorder of mitochondrial energy metabolism (Soreze et al. 2013, Tort et al. 2014).
