Enzyme‐Catalyzed Oxidative Degradation of Ergothioneine

Egor Y. Nalivaiko,
Camille M. Vasseur,
Florian P. Seebeck

Abstract: Ergothioneine is a sulfur‐containing metabolite that is produced by bacteria and fungi, and is absorbed by plants and animals as a micronutrient. Ergothioneine reacts with harmful oxidants including singlet oxygen or hydrogen peroxide, and may therefore protect cells against oxidative stress. In this report we describe two enzymes from actinobacteria that cooperate in the specific oxidative degradation of ergothioneine. The first enzyme is an iron‐dependent thiol dioxygenase that produces ergothioneine sulfini… Show more
