Inhibition of Arabidopsis O-Acetylserine(thiol)lyase A1 by Tyrosine-Nitration
The last step of sulfur assimilation is catalyzed by O‐acetylserine(thiol)lyase (OASTL) enzymes. OASTLs are encoded by a multigene family in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Cytosolic OASA1 enzyme is the main source of OASTL activity and thus crucial for cysteine...
