Abstract excerpt
Cysteine desulfurases perform pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)-dependent desulfuration of cysteine. The key steps of the enzymatic cycle include substrate binding to PLP, formation of a covalent persulfide intermediate at the active site cysteine, and transfer of sulfur to recipients for use in various metabolic pathways. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the cysteine desulfurase Nfs1p and an accessory protein, Isd11p, are...
