EC number

4.4.1.36

Accepted name

hercynylcysteine S-oxide lyase

Reaction

S-(hercyn-2-yl)-L-cysteine S-oxide + reduced acceptor = ergothioneine + pyruvate + NH₃ + acceptor (overall reaction);;(1a) S-(hercyn-2-yl)-L-cysteine S-oxide + H₂O = 2-(hydroxysulfanyl)hercynine + pyruvate + NH₃;;(1b) 2-(hydroxysulfanyl)hercynine + reduced acceptor = ergothioneine + acceptor + H₂O (spontaneous)

Other name(s)

egtE (gene name)

Systematic name

S-(hercyn-2-yl)-L-cysteine ergothioneine-hydroxysulfanolate-lyase

Comment

Contains pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Mycobacterium smegmatis, cayalyses the last step in the pathway of ergothioneine biosynthesis. The enzyme forms a 2-(hydroxysulfanyl)hercynine intermediate, which is reduced to ergothioneine non-enzymically by a thiol. In vitro, DTT can serve this function.
