EC 2.8.1.7 Details
EC number
2.8.1.7
Accepted name
cysteine desulfurase
Reaction
L-cysteine + acceptor = L-alanine + S-sulfanyl-acceptor (overall reaction);;(1a) L-cysteine + [enzyme]-cysteine = L-alanine + [enzyme]-S-sulfanylcysteine;;(1b) [enzyme]-S-sulfanylcysteine + acceptor = [enzyme]-cysteine + S-sulfanyl-acceptor
Other name(s)
IscS, NIFS, NifS, SufS, cysteine desulfurylase
Systematic name
L-cysteine:acceptor sulfurtransferase
CAS registry number
149371-08-4
Comment
A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. The sulfur from free L-cysteine is first transferred to a cysteine residue in the active site, and then passed on to various other acceptors. The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of iron-sulfur clusters, thio-nucleosides in tRNA, thiamine, biotin, lipoate and pyranopterin (molybdopterin) [2]. In Azotobacter vinelandii, this sulfur provides the inorganic sulfide required for nitrogenous metallocluster formation [1].
