EC 6.3.2.31

Accepted name: coenzyme F420-0:L-glutamate ligase

Reaction: GTP + coenzyme F420-0 + L-glutamate = GDP + phosphate + coenzyme F420-1

Glossary: coenzyme F420

Other name(s): CofE-AF; MJ0768; CofE

Systematic name: L-glutamate:coenzyme F420-0 ligase (GDP-forming)

Comments: This protein catalyses the successive addition of two glutamate residues to cofactor F420 by two distinct and independent reactions. In the reaction described here the enzyme attaches a glutamate via its α-amine group to F420-0. In the second reaction (EC 6.3.2.34, coenzyme F420-1—γ-L-glutamate ligase) it catalyses the addition of a second L-glutamate residue to the γ-carboxyl of the first glutamate.
