Chloroplastic NifS-like protein that can catalyze the conversion of cysteine into alanine and elemental sulfur (S(0)) and of selenocysteine into alanine and elemental Se (Se(0)). Overexpression enhances selenium tolerance and accumulation.
Sulfur nutrition is crucial for plant growth and development, as well as crop yield and quality. APS2 is involved in step 1 of the subpathway that synthesizes sulfite from sulfate.
The chloroplast NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (NDH) complex is involved in photosystem I (PSI) cyclic and chlororespiratory electron transport in higher plants. NDHD is a subunit of the NDH complex.

Background:
VTE3 is a MPBQ/MSBQ methyltransferase located in the chloroplast inner envelope membrane. It is involved in a key methylation step in both tocopherols (vitamin E) and plastoquinone synthesis.
