EC 3.5.1.103 Details
EC number
3.5.1.103
Accepted name
N-acetyl-1-D-myo-inositol-2-amino-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranoside deacetylase
Reaction
1-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranosyl)-1D-myo-inositol + H2O = 1-O-(2-amino-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranosyl)-1D-myo-inositol + acetate
Other name(s)
MshB
Systematic name
1-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranosyl)-1D-myo-inositol acetylhydrolase
Comment
This enzyme is considered the key enzyme and rate limiting step in the mycothiol biosynthesis pathway [1]. In addition to acetylase activity, the enzyme possesses weak activity of EC 3.5.1.115, mycothiol S-conjugate amidase, and shares sequence similarity with that enzyme [2]. The enzyme requires a divalent transition metal ion for activity, believed to be Zn2+ [3].
