Cystathionine gamma-synthase (CGS) catalyses the first step of the transsulfuration pathway that converts l-cysteine to l-homocysteine in bacteria, whereas this pathway is absent in human. In this report, we identified a new metB gene from Helicobacter pylori strain SS1, and

Mutations were found which enable Escherichia coli K-12 to form homocysteine in the absence of cystathionase. The formation of homocysteine in the mutant strains required cystathionine gamma-synthetase, the metB gene product, but bypassed the normal intermediate cystathionine. It is concluded

Volatile sulfur compounds are key flavor compounds in several cheese types. To better understand the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids, which certainly plays a key role in the release of volatile sulfur compounds, we searched the genome database of Lactobacillus

Cystathionine gamma-synthase (CGS) is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme that catalyzes a gamma-replacement reaction, in which the succinyl group of an O-succinyl-L-homoserine (L-OSHS) is displaced by the thiol of L-cysteine to form L-cystathionine, in the first step of the bacterial transsulfuration

The relationship between genes and enzymes in the methionine biosynthetic pathway has been studied in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The first step is catalysed by an O-succinylhomoserine synthase, the product of the metA gene mapped at 20 min on the chromosome. The
