ENTRY EC 2.8.1.4
NAME tRNA sulfurtransferase
CLASS Transferases
Transferring sulfur-containing groups
Sulfurtransferases
SYSNAME L-Cysteine:tRNA sulfurtransferase
REACTION L-Cysteine + 'Activated' tRNA = L-Serine +
tRNA containing a thionucleotide
SUBSTRATE L-Cysteine
'Activated' tRNA
PRODUCT L-Serine
tRNA containing a thionucleotide
COMMENT A group of enzymes transferring sulfur to various nucleotides in
a tRNA chain, producing residues such as 4-thiouridylate. Wite
some enzymes mercaptopyruvate can act as sulfur donor.
