Genome organization of cysA2 and related genes, structural conservation and sulfurtransferase motifs in the correspondent proteins. (a) Genome organization of cysA2 and the three other putative sulfurtransferases. cysA2 and cysA3 genes are identical and organized in two different operons that also have genes involved in the molybdenum metabolism. Gene codes and the name of the proteins are shown in agreement with the Tuberculist site. The molecular weight of the proteins is shown in kDa. (b) Structural superimposition of the three-dimensional structures of M. tuberculosis CysA2 (PDB code 3HIW, yellow), CysA3 (PDB code 3AAY, red) and SseA (PDB code 3HZU, blue). (c) Amino acid sequence alignment of CysA2 and the three related proteins identified in M. tuberculosis detaching the motifs that characterize the sulfurtransferases TSTs and MSTs.
