SGD DescriptionCysteine desulfurase (Nfs1p) activator; essential for the formation of the persulfide intermediate at the desulfurase active site during pyridoxal phosphate-dependent desulfuration of cysteine; required for mitochondrial iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis; exclusive to eukaryotes, implicated as eukaryotic supplement to the bacterium-derived Fe-S cluster (ISC) assembly apparatus; involved in regulation of iron metabolism; member of the LYR protein family
AspGD DescriptionOrtholog(s) have cysteine desulfurase activity, role in iron-sulfur cluster assembly and L-cysteine desulfurase complex, extrinsic component of mitochondrial inner membrane, mitochondrial matrix, nucleus localization
