Protein Domain : Glutamate--cysteine ligase, plant-type IPR011556

Type  Family
Description  These sequences represent one of two highly dissimilar forms of glutamate--cysteine ligase (gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase), an enzyme of glutathione biosynthesis. The other group is represented by . This form is found in plants (with a probable transit peptide), root nodule and other bacteria, but not Escherichia coli and closely related species. This entry includes EgtA from Actinobacteria, a glutamate--cysteine ligase involved in the synthesis of ergothioneine (ERG) [ ], one of the major redox buffers that protects against redox stressors and in M. tuberculosis is essential for its virulence [].
