Comments [?]

Function Catalyzes the transfer of endogenously produced octanoic acid from octanoyl-acyl-carrier-protein onto the lipoyl domain of GcvH, an intermediate carrier during protein lipoylation.
Catalytic activity RHEA:17665: L-lysyl-[protein] + octanoyl-[ACP] = H(+) + holo-[ACP] + N(6)-octanoyl-L-lysyl-[protein]
EC 2.3.1.181
Pathway Protein modification; protein lipoylation via endogenous pathway; protein N(6)-(lipoyl)lysine from octanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein].
Subunit Monomer.
Miscellaneous In the reaction, the free carboxyl group of octanoic acid is attached via an amide linkage to the epsilon-amino group of a specific lysine residue of lipoyl domains of lipoate-dependent enzymes. The reaction proceeds via an octanoyl-thioester enzyme intermediate.
Similarity Belongs to the octanoyltransferase LipM family.

Comments E.coli requires only 2 proteins for the endogenous pathway of protein lipoylation, LipB (MF_00013) and LipA (MF_00206), whereas B.subtilis (and probably many Bacillota) requires 3 enzymes: LipM (MF_02118), LipL (MF_02119) and LipA (MF_00206).
