Protein Domain : IPR017772

Type:  Family Name:  Cysteine desulfurase NifS, bacterial/archaeal
Description:  This entry represents NifS, one of several related families of cysteine desulfurase involved in iron-sulphur (FeS) cluster biosynthesis. NifS is part of the NIF (nitrogen fixation) system, and is usually encoded with other nif genes involved in nitrogenase expression and nitrogen fixation. These proteins include a clade nearly always found in extended nitrogen fixation genomic regions, plus a second clade more closely related to the first than to IscS and also part of NifS-like/NifU-like systems. This entry does not cover a more distant clade found in the epsilon proteobacteria such as Helicobacter pylori, also named NifS in the literature. This clade is covered instead by . Short Name:  Cys_deSase_NifS_bac/arc
