| Comment(s) |
|---|
- The enzyme, characterized from several trypanosomatids (e.g.
Trypanosoma cruzi) catalyzes two subsequent reactions, leading to
production of trypanothione from glutathione and spermidine.
- Some trypanosomatids (e.g. Crithidia species and some Leishmania
species) also contain an enzyme that only carries out the first
reaction (cf. EC 6.3.1.8).
- The enzyme is bifunctional, and also catalyzes the hydrolysis of
glutathionylspermidine and trypanothione (cf. EC 3.5.1.78).
