DB identifier | AT5G50210 | Secondary Identifier | locus:2157747 |
Name | quinolinate synthase | Brief Description | quinolinate synthase |
TAIR Computational Description | quinolinate synthase;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes an Fe-S binding protein with quinolinate synthase (QS) activity and cysteine desulfurase activator activity. The QS activity was demonstrated by functional complementation of corresponding E. coli mutants and complementation of embryo-lethal phenotypes of the QS homozygous null allele in Arabidopsis. The SufE domain of the protein also stimulates the cysteine desulfurase activity of CpNifS (AT1G08490) in vitro. This protein binds a (4Fe-Su)2+ cluster in its NadA domain and is localized in the chloroplast. |
