Mycothiol synthase

Mycothiol synthase (, MshD) is an enzyme with systematic name acetyl-CoA:desacetylmycothiol O-acetyltransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * desacetylmycothiol + acetyl-CoA $$\rightleftharpoons$$ CoA + mycothiol

This enzyme catalyses the last step in the biosynthesis of mycothiol
