Sulfate assimilation
Reactome:R-MTU-936635
Mycobacterium tuberculosis sulfate uptake and activation links SubI binding, CysTWA transport, CysD/CysNC-dependent APS synthesis, APS phosphorylation and the CysQ PAPS-hydrolysis branch. GTP hydrolysis is coupled to APS synthesis, correcting its placement on APS kinase in Reactome. This record does not assert exclusive sulfate dependence, universal enzyme essentiality or complete stoichiometric balance. CysQ PAPS activity is qualitatively supported; PAP is its better-characterized substrate.

Added 5 reactions and 72 edges from hash-pinned Reactome release 97. Complete source projection and edge-disposition ledger are in research/source_discovery/2026-10-07-reactome. Preserve modified, redox and cleaved protein states; exclude unsupported sulfur charging and CysK2/OAS chemistry where relevant; correct GTP coupling in sulfate activation. Exact source and primary-evidence limitations are explicit. Native and closed-schema validation passed before writing. Hidden/ignored-file deduplication included.
