Abstract excerpt
Serine acetyltransferase, a key enzyme in the L-cysteine biosynthetic pathway of sulfate assimilating organisms, catalyzes the formation of O-acetylserine, the immediate precursor of L-cysteine. In higher plants, it is thought that sulfur assimilation occurs primarily in leaf chloroplasts; howeve...
