DNA phosphorothioate (PT) modification, in which the nonbridging oxygen in the sugar-phosphate backbone is substituted by sulfur, is catalyzed by DndABCDE or SspABCD in a double-stranded or single-stranded manner, respectively. In Dnd and Ssp systems, mobilization of sulfur in PT formation starts with the activation of the sulfur atom of cysteine catalyzed by the DndA and SspA cysteine desulfurases, respectively. Despite playing the same biochemical role, SspA cannot be functionally replaced by DndA, indicating its unique physiological properties. In this study, we solved the crystal structure of Vibrio cyclitrophicus SspA in complex with its natural substrate, cysteine, and cofactor, pyridoxal phosphate (PLP), at a resolution of 1.80 A. Our solved structure revealed the molecular mechanism that SspA employs to recognize its cysteine substrate and PLP cofactor, suggesting a common binding mode shared by cysteine desulfurases. In addition, although the distance between the catalytic Cys314 and the substrate cysteine is 8.9 A, which is too far for direct interaction, our structural modeling and biochemical analysis revealed a conformational change in the active site region toward the cysteine substrate to move them close to each other to facilitate the nucleophilic attack.
