annotation rule: PRU00773

General rule information [?]

Accession PRU00773
Dates 8-APR-2009 (Created)
3-JUN-2021 (Last updated, Version 9)
Data class Domain
Predictors PROSITE; PS51443; PCS
Name Phytochelatin synthase (PCS) domain
Function Phytochelatins (PCs) are synthesized posttranslationally by the PC synthase (PCS) (EC 2.3.2.15), a gamma-glutamylcysteine (gamma-EC) transpeptidase. PC synthesis is proposed to have two distinct steps: (Step1) formation of gamma-EC concomitant with the cleavage of Gly from GSH; and (Step 2) transfer of the gamma-EC unit to an acceptor GSH molecule or an oligomeric PC peptide (PCn).
