Characterization of GshAB of Tetragenococcus halophilus: A two- domain glutathione synthetase
Download2023-03-30
Lin, Jieting, Xie, Jin, Luo, Lixin, Gänzle, Michael
The γ-glutamyl tripeptide glutathione (γ-Glu-Cys-Gly) is a low molecular thiol that acts as antioxidant in response to oxidative stress in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. γ-Glutamyl dipeptides including γ-Glu-Cys, γ-Glu-Glu, and γ-Glu-Gly also have kokumi activity. Glutathione is synthesized by first...

Characterization of γ-glutamyl cysteine ligases from Limosilactobacillus reuteri producing kokumi-active γ-glutamyl dipeptides
Download2021-07-01
γ-Glutamyl cysteine ligases (Gcls) catalyze the first step of glutathione synthesis in prokaryotes and many eukaryotes. This study aimed to determine the biochemical properties of three different Gcls from strains of Limosilactobacillus reuteri that accumulate γ-glutamyl dipeptides. Gcl1, Gcl2,...
