Protein lipoylation, a vital lysine post-translational modification, plays a crucial role in the function of key mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymatic complexes. In eukaryotes, lipoyl post-translational modification synthesis occurs exclusively through de novo pathways, relying on lipoyl synthesis/transfer enzymes, dependent upon mitochondrial fatty acid and Fe-S cluster biosynthesis. Dysregulation in any of these pathways leads to diminished cellular lipoylation.
