  4.4.1.36 | metabolism |
SPBC660.12c locus egt2+ represents the gene primarily responsible for the second step of ergothioneine biosynthesis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe |
-, 743662 |
| 4.4.1.36 | metabolism |
the enzyme catalyzes a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-mediated C-S lyase reaction in the ergothioneine biosynthesis |

| 4.4.1.36 | physiological function |
a gene deletion mutant shows a substantial decrease in ergothioneine, accompanied by accumulation of its immediate precursor, hercynylcysteine sulfoxide. Ergothioneine-deficient strains exhibit no phenotypic defects during vegetative growth or quiescence. The ergothioneine pathway can also synthesize selenoneine, a selenium-containing derivative of ergothioneine, when the culture medium is supplemented with selenium |

| 4.4.1.36 | physiological function |
gene cluster egtABCDE is responsible for biosynthesis of ergothioneine. The final reaction, conversion of S-(hercyn-2-yl)-L-cysteine S-oxide into ergothioneine, is catalyzed by EgtE |
