6.3.1.9 | C57A |
functional synthetase devoid of amidase activity. In the presence of inducer, this line showed decreased growth in vitro and decreased virulence in vivo, indicating that the amidase function is not absolutely required for viability |

6.3.1.9 | C59A |
mutant lacks the amidase activity, while the synthetase activity is similar to wild-type. Constructed for the production of trypanothione and trypanothione disulfide in >200 mg quantities. The protocol also allows the synthesis of related glutathione conjugates |

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 |
