| Description | Hercynine is the betaine (trimethylated amino group) form of histidine. It is the precursor of ergothioneine, a thiourea derivative containing a sulfur atom in the imidazole ring. This small protein occurs in a conserved four-gene cyanobacterial cassette along with an EgtD, the methyltransferase that converts histidine to hercynine as in ergothioneine biosynthesis, and an EgtB homologue, likely to attach some thiol through its sulfur to the hercynine imidazole ring. |
