Comments [?]

case <OC:Escherichia> or <OC:Shigella> or <OC:Salmonella>
Function Master enzyme that delivers sulfur to a number of partners involved in Fe-S cluster assembly, tRNA modification or cofactor biosynthesis. Catalyzes the removal of elemental sulfur and selenium atoms from cysteine and selenocysteine to produce alanine. Functions as a sulfur delivery protein for Fe-S cluster synthesis onto IscU, an Fe-S scaffold assembly protein, as well as other S acceptor proteins. Also functions as a selenium delivery protein in the pathway for the biosynthesis of selenophosphate.

end case
Catalytic activity RHEA:43892: [sulfur carrier]-H + L-cysteine = [sulfur carrier]-SH + L-alanine
EC 2.8.1.7
Cofactor pyridoxal 5'-phosphate
Pathway Cofactor biosynthesis; iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis.
Subunit Homodimer. Forms a heterotetramer with IscU, interacts with other sulfur acceptors.
Subcellular location Cytoplasm.
case <OC:Archaea>
Miscellaneous In Archaea the pyridoxal phosphate cofactor is not covalently bound to Lys but ligated by other amino acids.
end case
Similarity Belongs to the class-V pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. NifS/IscS subfamily.
