OX NCBI_TaxID=4097; RN [1] RP NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE [MRNA]. RA Gromes R., Rausch T.; RT "Regulation of plant and bacterial gamma-glutamylcysteine RT synthetase."; RL Submitted (AUG-2006) to the EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ databases. CC -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + L-glutamate + L-cysteine = ADP + CC phosphate + gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteine. CC -!- PATHWAY: Sulfur metabolism; glutathione biosynthesis; glutathione CC from L-cysteine and L-glutamate: step 1/2. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer or monomer when oxidized or reduced, CC respectively (By similarity). CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Plastid, chloroplast (By similarity). CC -!- PTM: The Cys-186-Cys-406 disulfide bridge is known to modulate the CC enzyme activity according to the redox status. The oxidized form CC constitutes the active enzyme (By similarity). CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the glutamate--cysteine ligase type 2 CC family.
