In Salmonella enterica, OatA (Formerly YjgM) Uses O-Acetyl-Serine and Acetyl-CoA to Synthesize N,O-Diacetylserine, Which Upregulates Cysteine Biosynthesis

L-Cysteine biosynthesis has been extensively analyzed in Salmonella enterica. The cysteine regulon contains the genes whose protein products are necessary to convert sulfate to sulfide, which is eventually reacted with O-acetyl-serine (OAS) to generate cysteine. The LysR type regulator, CysB, is req...
