Enhancement of thioredoxin/glutaredoxin-mediated L-cysteine synthesis from <it>S</it>-sulfocysteine increases L-cysteine production in <it>Escherichia coli</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p><it>Escherichia coli</it> has two L-cysteine biosynthetic pathways; one is synthesized from <it>O</it>-acetyl L-serine (OAS) and sulfate by L-cysteine synthase (CysK), and another is produced via <it>S&l...
