| Research Abstract |
Cysteine desulfurase is a PLP-dependent enzyme and generates sulfur atom for the biosynthesis of sulfur-containing compounds, such as thiamine, biotin, and FeS cluster. We purified three cysteine desulfurases from obligate anaerobe, Clostridium acetobutylicum, and characterized their enzymatic properties. CAC2234 showed highest reactivity on L-Cys, we thus used them to examine the sulfur transfer from L-[^<35> S] Cys. We found five proteins specifically time-dependently labeled by^<35> S.
