Amino Acids in the RSSY Motif of Lipoyl Synthase Control Substrate Binding and Reactivity

Vivian Robert Jeyachandran, Nicholas D. Lanz, Maria‐Eirini Pandelia…·Squire J. Booker

This paper investigates the role of amino acids in the RSSY motif of lipoyl synthase, showing that Arg306 and Ser308 are critical for substrate binding and catalytic activity, with specific substitutions affecting product formation and cluster stability.
