2.8.1.7
Description Cysteine desulfurase
Alternative names IscS;
NifS;
SufS;
cysteine desulfurylase.
Catalyzed reaction L-cysteine + [enzyme]-cysteine = L-alanine + [enzyme]-S-sulfanylcysteine
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments The reaction shown is the first part of a catalytic process, which is completed by passing on the protein-bound sulfur to other acceptors.
In Azotobacter vinelandii, this sulfur provides the inorganic sulfide required for nitrogenous metallocluster formation. The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of iron-sulfur clusters, thio-nucleosides in tRNA, thiamine, biotin, lipoate and pyranopterin (molybdopterin) and functions by mobilizing sulfur.
Cysteine desulfurases are phylogenetically and functionally related to enzymes such as selenocystine lyases (C-DES type).
They are also phylogenetically related to selenocysteine lyases (EC 4.4.1.16), and often show some selenocysteine lyase activity.
Diseases Classical xanthinuria type II
PDB 1ECX; 1P3W; 6M4J;
