General annotation (Comments)

Function

Catalyzes the formation of a covalent CysO-cysteine adduct via a sulfur transfer, using the thiocarboxylated sulfur carrier protein CysO-COSH as sulfur donor and O-phospho-L-serine (OPS) as sulfur acceptor. Can also use sodium sulfide as sulfur donor in vitro, albeit with less efficiency, but not thiosulfate or thio-nitro-benzoate. O-acetylserine (OAS) is a very poor substrate in comparison with OPS. May be of particular importance for cysteine biosynthesis in the persistent phase of M.tuberculosis. Ref.5 Ref.7

Catalytic activity

O-phospho-L-serine + H2S = L-cysteine + phosphate. Ref.5 Ref.7 Ref.8

O-phospho-L-serine + [CysO]-SH = [CysO]-L-cysteine + phosphate. Ref.5 Ref.7 Ref.8

Cofactor

Pyridoxal phosphate. Ref.7

Pathway

Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-cysteine biosynthesis.

Subunit structure

Homodimer. Ref.7

Induction

Up-regulated under oxidative stress conditions. Ref.3

Domain

The five C-terminal amino acid residues are inserted into the active site cleft in the closed conformation, protect the aminoacrylate intermediate and are involved in sulfur donor selectivity. Ref.8

Disruption phenotype

Strains lacking this gene are shown to be attenuated in macrophages. Ref.4

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the cysteine synthase/cystathionine beta-synthase family.

Experimental info

Mutagenesis2201R → A: 700-fold decrease in the rate of the first half-reaction using OPS. Affects neither the rate of the first half-reaction using OAS nor the rate of the second half-reaction using sulfide or CysO-COSH. Ref.7
Mutagenesis319 – 3235Missing: Decreased lifetime of the alpha-aminoacrylate reaction intermediate, increased susceptibility to oxidation by oxidative agents such as hydrogen peroxide, and partial loss of selectivity towards CysO-COSH as sulfur donor. Ref.8
