4.4.1.5 | evolution | evolutionary early prokaryotic gene transfer. The enzyme of kinetoplastid parasites has highly altered substrate-binding site due to the usage of trypanothione instead of glutathione. Trypanothione is entropically favoured in comparison with the formation of glutathione disulfide. In addition, trypanothione is more reactive because of a significantly lower thiol pKa value of 7.4, has an overall positive instead of negative charge and is much bulkier than GSH. Because of the spermidine moiety, the substrate-binding sites are partially neutral or negatively (instead of positively) charged, and the binding sites of kinetoplastid glyoxalases are much wider to accommodate the additional spermidine and second glutathione moiety | Leishmania donovani |
