The Modifier Subunit of Drosophila Glutamate-Cysteine Ligase Regulates Catalytic Activity by Covalent and Noncovalent Interactions and Influences Glutathione Homeostasis in Vivo
Journal Article
Fraser, J. A., Kansagra, P., Kotecki, C., Saunders, R. D. C., & McLellan, L. I. (2003)
The Modifier Subunit of Drosophila Glutamate-Cysteine Ligase Regulates Catalytic Activity by Covalent and Noncovalent Interactions and Influences Glutathione Homeostasis in Vivo. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 278(47), 46369-46377. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.m308035200
Glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL) has a key influence on glutathione homeostasis. It has been proposed that mammalian GCL is regulated by the redox environment, and we show here...
