| Comment(s) |
|---|
- The enzyme is part of a system for detoxifying arsenate.
- The substrate binds to a catalytic cysteine residue, forming a
covalent thiolate--As(V) intermediate.
- A tertiary intermediate is then formed between the arsenic,
the enzyme's cysteine, and a glutathione cysteine.
- This intermediate is reduced by glutaredoxin, which forms a dithiol
with the glutathione, leading to the dissociation of arsenite.
- Thus reduction of As(V) is mediated by three cysteine residues: one
in ArsC, one in glutathione, and one in glutaredoxin.
- Although the arsenite formed is more toxic than arsenate, it can be
extruded from some bacteria by EC 7.3.2.7; in other organisms,
arsenite can be methylated by EC 2.1.1.137 in a pathway that produces
non-toxic organoarsenical compounds; cf. EC 1.20.4.4.
- Formerly EC 1.97.1.5.
