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 ...

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 (Cys) is an amino acid found in high abundance across many biological processes, such as protein synthesis and metabolism. In animals, the synthesis of cysteine was thought to occur via one ...

“We were really surprised to find this alternative pathway for cysteine biosynthesis in A. loripes, as it was previously only identified in fungi and we thought animals could only synthesize cysteine ...

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 ...

A newly identified biochemical pathway protects cells from a type of cell death called ferroptosis, said Moffitt Cancer Center researchers. The findings of the study are published in Cell Metabolism.

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

An alternate pathway for the production of a key amino acid Cysteine (Cys) is an amino acid found in high abundance across many biological processes, such as protein synthesis and metabolism. In ...
