3.5.1.115

Accepted name:

mycothiol S-conjugate amidase

Reaction:

a mycothiol S-conjugate + H₂O = an N-acetyl L-cysteine-S-conjugate + 1-O-(2-amino-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranosyl)-1D-myo-inositol

Glossary:

mycothiol = 1-O-[2-(N²-acetyl-L-cysteinamido)-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranosyl]-1D-myo-inositol
N-acetyl L-cysteine-S-conjugate = mercapturic acid

Other name(s):

MCA

Systematic name:

mycothiol S-conjugate 1D-myo-inositol 2-amino-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranosyl-hydrolase

Comments:

The enzyme that is found in actinomycetes is involved in the detoxification of oxidizing agents and electrophilic antibiotics. The enzyme has low activity with 1-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranosyl)-1D-myo-inositol as substrate (cf. EC 3.5.1.103, N-acetyl-1-D-myo-inositol-2-amino-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranoside deacetylase) [2].
