CS-6xHis
Description
L-cysteine sulfonic acid synthase (CS, L-cysteate synthase) is an enzyme consisting of 419 amino acids, and its size is about 45.85 kDa. It catalyzes the conversion of O-phospho-L-serine and sulfite into L-cysteine sulfonic acid (L-cysteate) and phosphate (Fig. 1). Moreover, CS does not catalyze the production of L-cysteine due to its specificity to sulfite[1].

Usage and Biology
The DNA sequence of CS was synthesized by IDT and was amplified by PCR. The Agarose gel electrophoresis result is shown in Fig. 2. The part has been confirmed by sequencing and has no mutations.

In order to use anti-polyhistidine-tag antibodies to detect the production of CS by western blot, we add 6xHis-tag at the C-terminal of CS. Combining CS and CSAD, we are able to produce taurine from O-phospho-L-serine.
