Collective production of hydrogen sulfide gas enables budding yeast lacking MET17 to overcome their metabolic defect.
Assimilation of sulfur is vital to all organisms. In S. cerevisiae, inorganic sulfate is first reduced to sulfide, which is then affixed to an organic carbon backbone by the Met17 enzyme. The resulting homocysteine can then be converted to all other essential organosulfurs such as methionine, cystei...
