In enzymology, a cysteine desulfurase (EC 2.8.1.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

L-cysteine + [enzyme]-cysteine L-alanine + [enzyme]-S-sulfanylcysteine

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-cysteine and [enzyme]-cysteine], whereas its two products are L-alanine and [enzyme]-S-sulfanylcysteine.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the sulfurtransferases, which transfer sulfur-containing groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-cysteine:[enzyme cysteine] sulfurtransferase. Other names in common use include IscS, NIFS, NifS, SufS, and cysteine desulfurylase.

Function

Bacteria contain cysteine desulfurases to form iron sulfur clusters in proteins.[1] However recently it has been shown that the enzyme, which produces hydrogen sulfide from cysteine, is also a virulence factor, namely in M.pneumoniae.[2]

In mammals, the enzyme participates in thiamine metabolism.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, only one structure had been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 1T3I.
