Abstract excerpt
Cystathionine gamma-synthase (CGS) is a key enzyme of Met biosynthesis in bacteria and plants. Aligning the amino acid sequences revealed that the plant enzyme has an extended N-terminal region that is not found in the bacterial enzyme. However, this region is not essential for the catalytic activity of this enzyme, as deduced from the complementation test of an Escherichia coli CGS mutant. To determine the...
