Mycothiol synthase

Mycothiol synthase (EC 2.3.1.189, MshD) is an enzyme with systematic name acetyl-CoA:desacetylmycothiol O-acetyltransferase.^[1]^[2]^[3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

desacetylmycothiol + acetyl-CoA

\rightleftharpoons

CoA + mycothiol

This enzyme catalyses the last step in the biosynthesis of mycothiol
