Cysteine lyase is a pyridoxal-phosphate protein. It can use a second molecule of cysteine (producing lanthionine) or other alkyl thiols as replacing agents. It converts L-cysteine and sulfite into L-cysteate and hydrogen sulfide. It appears in viruses and cellular organisms. Structurally it is a PLP-dependent cysteine desulfurase.
