Description |
quinolinate synthase |
| Gene Summary |
Encodes an Fe-S binding protein with quinolinate synthase (QS) activity and cysteine desulfurase activator activity. The QS activity was demonstrated by functional complementation of corresponding E. coli mutants and complementation of embryo-lethal phenotypes of the QS homozygous null allele in Arabidopsis. The SufE domain of the protein also stimulates the cysteine desulfurase activity of CpNifS (AT1G08490) in vitro. This protein binds a (4Fe-Su)2+ cluster in its NadA domain and is localized in the chloroplast. |
