Cystathionine γ-synthase (CGS) catalyzes the γ-replacement reaction of O-succinylhomoserine and L-cysteine to form L-cystathionine and succinate. As an antibacterial drug target, CGS from X. oryzae pv. oryzae (XometB) was cloned, purified and crystallized, and a preliminary X-ray crystallography analysis of the XometB crystal was performed.
