Protein
SufE-like protein 2, chloroplastic
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Participates in cysteine desulfurization mediated by NFS2. Can activate the cysteine desulfurase activity of NFS2 in vitro. Cysteine desulfurization mobilizes sulfur from L-cysteine to yield L-alanine and supplies the inorganic sulfur for iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster formation.
Similarity
Belongs to the SufE family.
