1 To examine the thiazole requirement, we have reconstituted the in vitro biosynthesis of ThiS thiocarboxylate, the ultimate sulfur donor in thiazole biosynthesis, and we show that IscS mobilizes sulfur for transfer to the C-terminal carboxylate of ThiS. Sulfur NFS1 cysteine desulfurase Homo sapiens

3 Thus, IscS plays a significant and specific role at the top of a potentially broad sulfur transfer cascade that is required for the biosynthesis of thiamin, NAD, Fe-S clusters, and thionucleosides. Sulfur NFS1 cysteine desulfurase Homo sapiens
