Disease relevance of alr0975

  • The genome sequences for the cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. PCC 7120 were recently completed and allowed us to identify a gene encoding a PC synthase-like protein, termed alr0975 [1].
 

High impact information on alr0975

  • The recombinant alr0975 protein strongly catalyzed the first step of PC synthesis, in which glutathione (GSH) is converted to gamma-glutamylcysteine (gamma-EC), although the protein only weakly catalyzed the second step of PC synthesis, namely the transfer of gamma-EC moiety to an acceptor GSH molecule to form PC(2) [1].
