Function
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 atoms from cysteine 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.
Catalytic activity
- [sulfur carrier]-H + L-cysteine = [sulfur carrier]-SH + L-alanine
Cofactor
Pathway
Cofactor biosynthesis; iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis.
