Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of iscS encoding cysteine desulfurase results in a slow growth phenotype associated with the deficiency of iron-sulfur clusters, thiamine, NAD, and tRNA thionucleosides in Escherichia coli. However, the other roles of iscSin vivo are unknown. By using differential screening strategies, we identified 2 pyrimidine salvage enzymes, namely, uridine phosphorylase and cytidine deaminase, which were...
