Type: | Family | Name: | Glycine cleavage system T protein, bacteria |
Description: | The glycine cleavage system (GCS) is a multienzyme system composed of proteins P, H, T, and L, that catalyses the reversible oxidation of glycine. The T protein is an aminomethyl transferase that catalyses the following reaction: (6S)-tetrahydrofolate + S-aminomethyldihydrolipoylprotein = (6R)-5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate + NH3+ dihydrolipoylprotein The glycine cleavage system is found in bacteria and the mitochondria of eukaryotes. This entry represents the T-protein from bacteria []. | Short Name: | GCS_T_bac |
