EC 3.5.1.78
Names
Accepted name:
glutathionylspermidine amidase
Other
names:
glutathionylspermidine amidohydrolase (spermidine-forming)
GSP amidase
GSP amidase
Systematic name:
γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine:spermidine amidase
Reaction
- glutathionylspermidine + H2O = glutathione + spermidine
Comments:
Spermidine is numbered so that atom N-1 is in the amino group of the aminopropyl part of the molecule. The enzyme from Escherichia coli is bifunctional and also catalyses the glutathionylspermidine synthase (EC 6.3.1.8) reaction, resulting in a net hydrolysis of ATP.
