ID 1.20.4.1 DE arsenate reductase (glutathione/glutaredoxin). AN arsenate reductase (glutaredoxin). CA [glutaredoxin]-dithiol + arsenate + glutathione + H(+) = arsenite + CA glutathionyl-S-S-[glutaredoxin] + H2O. CC -!- The enzyme is part of a system for detoxifying arsenate. CC -!- The substrate binds to a catalytic cysteine residue, forming a CC covalent thiolate--As(V) intermediate. CC -!- A tertiary intermediate is then formed between the arsenic, CC the enzyme's cysteine, and a glutathione cysteine. CC -!- This intermediate is reduced by glutaredoxin, which forms a dithiol CC with the glutathione, leading to the dissociation of arsenite. CC -!- Thus reduction of As(V) is mediated by three cysteine residues: one CC in ArsC, one in glutathione, and one in glutaredoxin. CC -!- Although the arsenite formed is more toxic than arsenate, it can be CC extruded from some bacteria by EC 7.3.2.7; in other organisms, CC arsenite can be methylated by EC 2.1.1.137 in a pathway that produces CC non-toxic organoarsenical compounds; cf. EC 1.20.4.4. CC -!- Formerly EC 1.97.1.5.
