Lipoyltransferase catalyzes the transfer of the lipoyl group from lipoyl-AMP to the specific lysine residue of the lipoate-dependent enzymes. We have isolated lipoyltransferase I (LipTI) and II (LipTII) from bovine liver (Fujiwara, K., Okamura-Ikeda, K., and Motokawa, Y. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 1...
