Lipoic acid is synthesized by a remarkably atypical pathway in which the cofactor
is assembled on its cognate proteins. An octanoyl moiety diverted from fatty acid
synthesis is covalently attached to the acceptor protein, and sulfur insertion at
carbons 6 and 8 of the octanoyl moiety form the lipoyl cofactor. Covalent
attachment of this cofactor is required for function of several central
metabolism enzymes, including the glycine cleavage H protein (GcvH). In Bacillus
subtilis, GcvH is the sole substrate for lipoate assembly. Hence lipoic
acid-requiring 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase (OADH) proteins acquire the cofactor only
by transfer from lipoylated GcvH. Lipoyl transfer has been argued to be the
primordial pathway of OADH lipoylation. The Escherichia coli pathway where
lipoate is directly assembled on both its GcvH and OADH proteins, is proposed to
have arisen later. Because roughly 3 billion years separate the divergence of
these bacteria, it is surprising that E. coli GcvH functionally substitutes for
the B. subtilis protein in lipoyl transfer. Known and putative GcvHs from other
bacteria and eukaryotes also substitute for B. subtilis GcvH in OADH
modification. Because glycine cleavage is the primary GcvH role in ancestral
bacteria that lack OADH enzymes, lipoyl transfer is a "moonlighting" function:
that is, development of a new function while retaining the original function.
This moonlighting has been conserved in the absence of selection by some, but not
all, GcvH proteins. Moreover, Aquifex aeolicus encodes five putative GcvHs, two
of which have the moonlighting function, whereas others function only in glycine
cleavage.
