CysH is a thioredoxin-dependent APS reductase containing a [4Fe-4S] cluster. It reduces activated sulfate in APS to sulfite and AMP during assimilatory sulfate reduction, supplying reduced sulfur for cysteine biosynthesis. Its substrate preference distinguishes it from the PAPS reductase used by enteric bacteria.
| GO Term | Evidence | Action | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| GO:0000103 sulfate assimilation | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: CysH supplies sulfite for assimilatory reduced-sulfur biosynthesis. Reason: The enzyme performs the APS-reduction step and thereby supplies reduced sulfur for cysteine synthesis; the native P. aeruginosa knockout is a cysteine auxotroph. This is catalytic pathway participation, not solely a downstream growth phenotype. Supporting Evidence: PMID:10613872 Purified P. aeruginosa CysH expressed as a His-tagged recombinant protein is able to reduce APS, but not PAPS. PMID:10613872 Insertional knockout mutation of P. aeruginosa cysH produced cysteine auxotrophy, indicating its role in sulfate assimilation. |

| GO:0009973 adenylyl-sulfate reductase activity | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | MODIFY | Summary: Refine APS reductase activity to its thioredoxin-dependent reaction.
