NifS-like cysteine desulfurases are widespread enzymes involved in the mobi-lization of sulfur from cysteine. The genome of the filamentous diazotrophic cyanobacterium AnabaenaPCC 7120 contains four open reading frames potentially encoding NifS-like proteins. One of them, alr2505, belongs to the pkn22operon, which enablesAnabaenato cope with oxidative stress. | ỊFEBS Journal The alr2505 osiS gene from Anabaena sp. strain PCC7120 encodes a cysteine desulfurase induced by oxidative stress Marion Ruiz Azzeddine Bettache Annick Janicki Daniel Vinella Cheng-Cai Zhang and Amel Latifi Aix-Marseille Université and Laboratoire de Chimie Bacterienne IBSM-CNRS Marseille France Keywords Anabaena cysteine desulfurase Fe-S clusters oxidative stress sulfur transfer Correspondence A.

The genome of the filamentous diazotrophic cyanobacterium Anabaena PCC 7120 contains four open reading frames potentially encoding NifS-like proteins. One of them alr2505 belongs to the pkn22 operon which enables Anabaena to cope with oxidative stress. The Alr2505 protein was purified and found to share all the features characteristic of cysteine desufurases. This is the first NifS-like enzyme to be functionally characterized in this bacterium. On the basis of the transcriptional profiling of all nfS-like genes in Anabaena it is concluded that alr2505 is the only cysteine desulfurase-encoding gene induced by oxidative stress. The function of Alr2505 which was termed OsiS is discussed.

During the last decade considerable progress has been made towards understanding sulfur-trafficking processes in various organisms with particular attention being paid to the enzymes that catalyze the
