AC MF_01832; DC Protein; auto TR HAMAP; MF_01832; -; 1; level=0 XX Names: SufE XX ID SUFE DE RecName: Full=Cysteine desulfuration protein SufE; GN Name=sufE; XX CC -!- FUNCTION: Participates in cysteine desulfuration mediated by SufS. CC Cysteine desulfuration mobilizes sulfur from L-cysteine to yield L- CC alanine and constitutes an essential step in sulfur metabolism for CC biosynthesis of a variety of sulfur-containing biomolecules. Functions CC as a sulfur acceptor for SufS, by mediating the direct transfer of the CC sulfur atom from the S-sulfanylcysteine of SufS, an intermediate CC product of cysteine desulfuration process. CC -!- PATHWAY: Cofactor biosynthesis; iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer. Interacts with SufS. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the SufE family.
