Abstract excerpt
The cysteine desulfurase IscS in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is required for the formation of all four thiolated nucleosides in tRNA, which is thought to occur via two principally different biosynthetic pathways. The synthesis of 4-thiouridine (s(4)U) and 5-methylaminomethyl-2-thiouridine (mnm(5)s(2)U) occurs by a transfer of sulfur from IscS via various proteins to the target nucleoside in the tRNA,...
