Namecysteine biosynthesis, tRNA-dependent
TypePATHWAY
DescriptionMethanocaldococcus jannaschii is a model archaeal species that lacks a direct cys--tRNA ligase. In a system analogous to pyrrolysine and (in many species) asparagine tRNA aminoacylation, the tRNA is misacylated and then the attached amino acid is modified. This two-step pathway is conducted by proteins in the families of MJ1660 (sepS) and MJ1678 (pscS). This pathway assumes 0-phosphoserine, whose biosynthesis is proposed to require D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (TIGR01327) and an unidentified aminotransferase.
