Abstract
The transfer of sulfur from methionine to cysteine in the archaebacteria Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and Halobacterium marismortui was studied by feeding 34S-labeled methionine to cells and measuring the incorporation of 34S into protein-bound cellular cysteine and methionine by mass spectrometry. It was found that, as are eucaryotes, both of these archaebacteria were able to convert the sulfur of methionine to cysteine.Entities:
