| Type: | Family | Name: | N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl L-malate synthase BshA |
| Description: | Members of this protein family are BshA, a glycosyltransferase required for bacillithiol biosynthesis. This enzyme combines UDP-GlcNAc and L-malate to form N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl L-malate synthase. Bacillithiol is a low-molecular-weight thiol, an analogue of glutathione and mycothiol, and is found largely in the Firmicutes []. | Short Name: | Thiol_BshA |
