in pathogenic trypanosomes, trypanothione synthetase catalyzes the synthesis of both glutathionylspermidine and trypanothione (bis(glutathionyl)spermidine). Trypanothione is synthesized from two molecules of GSH that are covalently bridged by a spermidine in two ATP-dependent reactions. The enzyme also shows trypanothione amidase activity catalyzed at a second distinct active site |
6.3.1.9 | 2 glutathione + spermidine + 2 ATP |
overall reaction, the enzyme catalyzes the formation of N1,N8-bis(glutathionyl)spermidine in two reaction steps, exhibiting activity of EC 6.3.1.8, glutathionylspermidine synthase, and 6.3.1.9, trypanothione synthase |
6.3.1.9 | 2 glutathione + spermidine + 2 ATP |
overall reaction, the enzyme catalyzes the formation of N1,N8-bis(glutathionyl)spermidine in two reaction steps, exhibiting activity of EC 6.3.1.8, glutathionylspermidine synthase, and 6.3.1.9, trypanothione synthase, overview |

phylogenetic analysis implies that TryS will replace the glutathionylspermidine synthase/trypanothione synthase complex in Leishmia major loosing the redundant GspS pseudogene from its genome |
6.3.1.9 | glutathione + spermidine + ATP |
reaction of EC 6.3.1.8, step one |
