In animals, cysteine biosynthesis was thought to be created exclusively via the transsulfuration pathway, with the cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) enzyme as a key player.

Cysteine biosynthesis is a vital biochemical process that converts inorganic sulphur into organic forms, ultimately producing the sulphur‐containing amino acid cysteine. This amino acid is ...

While generating a high-quality genome of the coral Acropora loripes (pictured above), KAUST marine scientists discovered for the first time that most animals have an alternative cysteine ...

Non-canonical Glutamate-Cysteine Ligase Activity Protects against Ferroptosis. Cell Metabolism, 2021; 33 (1): 174 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmet.2020.12.007 ...

“Our surprising findings reveal that low cysteine levels triggered rapid fat loss in our study mice by activating a network of interconnected biological pathways,” co-senior study author ...
