Type: | Family | Name: | D-cysteine desulphhydrase, bacterial |
Description: | This entry represents a family of bacterial D-cysteine desulphydrases, which are responsible for the decomposition of D-cysteine, which is a powerful inhibitor of E. coli growth. D-cysteine is decomposed into pyruvate, H2S and NH3[], and restricts growth through inhibition of key amino acid biosynthethis. | Short Name: | D_Cys_desulphydr_bac |
