O-Acetyl-L-serine sulfhydrylase (OASS) from plants and bacteria synthesizes cysteine and unnatural amino acids that are important building blocks for active pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. A thermostable O-phospho-L-serine sulfhydrylase from hyperthermophilic archaeon Aeropyrum pernix K1 (OPSSAp) exhibits a function similar to OASS. In the present study, we examined the synthesis of various unnatural amino acids using OPSSAp and demonstrated OPSSAp could efficiently synthesize various sulfur-containing amino acids. OPSSAp would be useful for industrial production of biologically important unnatural amino acids.

β-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)Alanine, an important metabolite of the triazole-based fungicide Myclobutanil, was shown to be derived from O-acetyl-L-serine and 1,2,4-triazole by cysteine synthase in higher plants.Some properties of this enzyme in the biosynthesis of β-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)alanine are described.
