The bovine lens enzyme catalyzing the first step of glutathione synthesis, γ-glutamyl-cysteine synthetase, was purified 260-fold with a recovery of 60% of the original activity. The instability of the enzyme required the rapid use of each solvent near its freezing point. Progress in fractionation was followed by immunoelectrophoresis with rabbit antisera produced in response to two of the purified fractions. Inhibition by ADP required extrapolation to initial velocity for apparentKmvalus determinations of glutamate, ATP, cysteine, and α-aminobutyrate. The requirements for the glutamate moiety were a five-carbon dicarboxylic acid with a free amino group in thel-configuration. Allohydroxyglutamate, α-methylglutamate and β-hydroxyglutamate were capable of substituting forl-glutamate. Thel-configuratioii was required for the cysteine moiety; α-amino butyrate substituted forl-cysteine. The enzyme from bovine lens and hog liver differ in their pH optima and instability to a variety of conditions. This indicates the enzymes from the two sources may be distinctly different proteins.
