    Also known as
    ABA DEFICIENT 3; ACI2; ALTERED CHLOROPLAST IMPORT 2; ATABA3; AtLOS5; F19K19.13; F19K19_13; LOS5; LOW OSMOTIC STRESS 5; MOLYBDENUM COFACTOR SULFURASE; SIR3; SIRTINOL RESISTANT 3
    Summary
    Encodes molybdenum cofactor sulfurase. Involved in Moco biosynthesis. Involved in the conversion of ABA-aldehyde to ABA, the last step of abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis. <i>sir</i> loss-of-function mutants are resistant to sirtinol, a modulator of auxin signaling.N terminal domain is similar to bacterial NifS suggesting a common mechanism for sulphur mobilization and transfer. Also involved in protein import into chloroplasts.
