>gnl|CDD|162031 TIGR00768, rimK_fam, alpha-L-glutamate ligases, RimK family. This family, related to bacterial glutathione synthetases, contains at least two different alpha-L-glutamate ligases. One is RimK, as in E. coli, which adds additional Glu residues to the native Glu-Glu C-terminus of ribosomal protein S6, but not to Lys-Glu mutants. Most species with a member of this subfamily lack an S6 homolog ending in Glu-Glu, however. Members in Methanococcus jannaschii act instead as a tetrahydromethanopterin:alpha-l-glutamate ligase (MJ0620) and a gamma-F420-2:alpha-l-glutamate ligase (MJ1001). Length = 277
