Escherichia coli B gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gammaGCS) catalyzes the ATP-dependent coupling of L-Glu and L-Cys to form the glutathione precursor gamma-L-Glu-Cys and is a target for development of potential therapeutic agents. By introducing four point mutations of surface-exposed cysteine residues to serine, the gammaGCS was purified to homogeneity; single crystals have been obtained using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method with sodium formate. The gammaGCS crystal diffracted to 2.8 A and belongs to space group R3, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 326.7, c = 103.9 A.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
