additional information YghU from Escherichia coli binds two molecules of GSH in each active site. YghU exhibits little or no GSH transferase activity with most typical electrophilic substrates but does possess a modest catalytic activity toward several organic hydroperoxides. The enzyme also exhibits disulfide-bond reductase activity towards 2-hydroxyethyl disulfide Escherichia coli ?

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
evolution structures and properties of YghU and YfcG indicate that they are members of the same distinct subfamily of GSH transferase homologues, proposed to be called the Nu-class GSH transferases. Cytoscape cluster analysis of the GSH transferase superfamily, overvew Escherichia coli
