ID   2.8.4.6
DE   S-methyl-1-thioxylulose 5-phosphate methylthiotransferase.
AN   1-methylthioxylulose 5-phosphate sulfurylase.
CA   glutathione + S-methyl-1-thio-D-xylulose 5-phosphate = 1-deoxy-D-xylulose
CA   5-phosphate + S-(methylsulfanyl)glutathione.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum,
CC       belongs to the cupin superfamily and contains a manganese ion.
CC   -!- It participates in an anaerobic salvage pathway that restores
CC       methionine from S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine.
CC   -!- The enzyme was assayed in vitro using L-dithiothreitol instead of
CC       glutathione.
