Comment | Ovothiol A is N1-methyl-4-mercaptohistidine. In the absence of S-adenosylmethione, a methyl donor, the intermediate produced is 4-mercaptohistidine. In both Erwinia tasmaniensis and Trypanosoma cruzi, a protein occurs with 5-histidylcysteine sulfoxide synthase activity, but these two enzymes and most homologs share an additional C-terminal methyltransferase domain. Thus OvoA may be a bifunctional enzyme with 5-histidylcysteine sulfoxide synthase and 4-mercaptohistidine N1-methyltranferase activity. This model describes C-terminal putative 4-mercaptohistidine N1-methyltranferase domain. |
