"Structural diversity of cysteine desulfurases involved in iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis"

【Significance】
Recent X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM, NMR and SAXS analyses unveiled common and distinct features of two different types of PLP-dependent cysteine desulfurases involved in Fe-S cluster biosynthetic systems. The significance of the type-dependent local structural difference is highlighted in this review, which will give clues for understanding not only the details of the cysteine desulfurase mechanisms, but also the diversity of the Fe-S cluster biosynthetic systems.
