FAMILY

L-aspartate semialdehyde sulfurtransferase family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as ASST_METJA, MJ0100. Required for O-acetylhomoserine sulfhydrylase (OAHS)-independent homocysteine (Hcy) biosynthesis. Together with MJ0099, catalyzes the condensation of sulfide with aspartate semialdehyde to generate homocysteine. Likely functions through persulfide intermediate. Homodimer (PubMed:18931440, PubMed:20026078). May form a complex with MJ0099 (By similarity).
