| Short Name | Cys_desulphurase_CdsA |
| description | In Escherichia coli, three cysteine desulfurases (IscS, SufS, and CsdA) initiate the delivery of sulfur for various biological processes such as the biogenesis of Fe-S clusters. CsdA is part of the Csd system. This protein, found in Escherichia coli, Yersinia pestis, Photorhabdus luminescens, and related species, is related to SufS. It works together with and physically interacts with CsdE (a paralogue of SufE) []. CsdA has cysteine desulphurase activity that is enhanced by CsdE, a sulphur acceptor protein []. This gene pair, although involved in FeS cluster biosynthesis, is not found next to other such genes as are its paralogs from the Suf or Isc systems. |
