| FUNCTION | Cysteine desulfurases mobilize the sulfur from L-cysteine to yield L-alanine, an essential step in sulfur metabolism for biosynthesis of a variety of sulfur-containing biomolecules. Component of the suf operon, which is activated and required under specific conditions such as oxidative stress and iron limitation. Acts as a potent selenocysteine lyase in vitro, that mobilizes selenium from L- selenocysteine. Selenocysteine lyase activity is however unsure in vivo. |
| CATALYTIC ACTIVITY | Reaction=[sulfur carrier]-H + L-cysteine = [sulfur carrier]-SH + L- alanine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:43892, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:14737, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:14739, ChEBI:CHEBI:29917, ChEBI:CHEBI:35235, ChEBI:CHEBI:57972, ChEBI:CHEBI:64428; EC=2.8.1.7; |
| CATALYTIC ACTIVITY | Reaction=AH2 + L-selenocysteine = A + H(+) + hydrogenselenide + L- alanine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:11632, ChEBI:CHEBI:13193, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:17499, ChEBI:CHEBI:29317, ChEBI:CHEBI:57843, ChEBI:CHEBI:57972; EC=4.4.1.16; |
| COFACTOR | Name=pyridoxal 5'-phosphate; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:597326; |
| PATHWAY | Cofactor biosynthesis; iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis. |
| SUBUNIT | Homodimer. Interacts with SufE and the SufBCD complex composed of SufB, SufC and SufD. The interaction with SufE is required to mediate the direct transfer of the sulfur atom from the S- sulfanylcysteine. |
| SUBCELLULAR LOCATION | Cytoplasm. |
| SIMILARITY | Belongs to the class-V pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. Csd subfamily. |

| Comments | The suf operon encodes a minor pathway of Fe-S cluster, which is probably activated and required only in specific stressfull conditions such as oxidative stress and/or iron limitation. Although cysteine desulfurase (EC 2.8.1.7) and selenocysteine lyase (EC 4.4.1.16) activities are reported as unrelated enzymatic reactions, they probably represent a same type of reaction, using either L-cysteine or L-selenocysteine as substrate, respectively. The catalytic activity for cysteine desulfurase reaction is incomplete, and lacks the direct transfer of the sulfur atom from the sufS-S-sulfanylcysteine |
