| Accepted name: |
[CysO sulfur-carrier protein]-S-L-cysteine hydrolase |
| Reaction: |
[CysO sulfur-carrier protein]-Gly-NH-CH2-C(O)-S-L-cysteine + H2O = [CysO sulfur-carrier protein]-Gly-NH-CH2-COOH + L-cysteine |
| Other name(s): |
mec (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
[CysO sulfur-carrier protein]-S-L-cysteine sulfohydrolase |
| Comments: |
Requires Zn2+. The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, participates in an L-cysteine biosynthesis pathway. It acts on the product of EC 2.5.1.113, [CysO sulfur-carrier protein]-thiocarboxylate-dependent cysteine synthase. |
