Characterisation of O-acetylserine sulfhyrdrylase (CysK) enzymes from bacteria lacking a sulfate reduction pathway

2025-03-26

Abstract excerpt

Sulfur metabolism plays an important role in bacterial pathogenesis. Elucidation of differences in sulfur metabolism across bacterial pathogens furthers our understanding of host survival and offers opportunities to disrupt these pathways for new therapies. Withing bacteria sulfur metabolism converges at the synthesis of L-cysteine. One of the key mechanisms of obtaining sulfur for the synthesis of L-cysteine is t...
