evolution | OvoA, EC 1.14.99.52, and EgtB are related in sequence, while they are biochemically distinct | Mycolicibacterium smegmatis |
metabolism | the mononuclear non-heme iron enzyme EgtB catalyzes an oxidative C-S bond formation in the ergothioneine biosynthesis. One of the EgtB substrates is gamma-Glu-Cys, which is part of the glutathione biosynthesis, resulting in competition between ergothioneine and glutathione biosyntheses | Mycolicibacterium smegmatis |
