EC Tree
IUBMB Comments The enzyme, characterized from several trypanosomatids (e.g. Trypanosoma cruzi) catalyses 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, glutathionylspermidine synthase). The enzyme is bifunctional, and also catalyses the hydrolysis of glutathionylspermidine and trypanothione (cf. EC 3.5.1.78, glutathionylspermidine amidase).
The taxonomic range for the selected organisms is: Trypanosoma cruzi The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Eukaryota

metabolism
trypanothione dependent redox metabolism, overview. Trypanothione synthetase catalyzes the ligation of two molecules of gluthatione to one of spermidine using the energy provided by two ATP molecules. Trypanothione reductase maintains trypanothione in the reduced state at expenses of NADPH, which can be supplied by the oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway via glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase
physiological function
in pathogenic trypanosomatids, a single enzyme, trypanothione synthetase (TryS), catalyzes trypanothione biosynthesis, which is indispensable for parasite survival. Reduced trypanothione is involved in multiple functions such as the detoxification of xenobiotics, cell proliferation, defense against oxidants and protein thiol-redox homeostasis

introduction of the trypanothione synthetase and reductase genes from Trypanosoma cruzi into Escherichia coli results in decreased intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species. Escherichia coli genomic DNA is protected from radiation-induced DNA damage by 4.6fold in the presence of trypanothione compared to control bacteria. The transgenic Escherichia coli expressing trypanothione are 4.3fold more resistant to killing by 137Cs gamma-radiation
