sulfurtransferase IscS-SSH + adenylated-tRNA-uridine(position8) two mechanisms for the sulfur transfer mediated by ThiI are proposed: A. mechanism providing for the direct nucleophilic attack on an activated uridine species by the terminal sulfur of the persulfide on Cys-456 of ThiI. B. mechanism in which ThiI functions to generate hydrogen sulfide, which subsequently serves as the nucleophile to displace the activated oxygen of uridine 8 Escherichia coli sulfurtransferase IscS-SH + tRNA-4-thiouridine(position8) + AMP
