| Sysname |
thiosulfate:dithioerythritol sulfurtransferase |
| Reaction(IUBMB) |
thiosulfate + dithioerythritol = sulfite +
4,5-cis-dihydroxy-1,2-dithiacyclohexane (i.e. oxidized
dithioerythritol) + sulfide |
| Reaction(KEGG) |
(other) R05072
 |
| Substrate |
thiosulfate [CPD:C00320];
dithioerythritol [CPD:C00950] |
| Product |
sulfite [CPD:C00094];
4,5-cis-dihydroxy-1,2-dithiacyclohexane [CPD:C06484];
sulfide [CPD:C00283] |
| Comment |
The enzyme from Chlorella shows very little activity towards
monothiols such as glutathione and cysteine (cf. EC 2.8.1.3
thiosulfate---thiolsulfurtransferase). The enzyme probably transfers
the sulfur atom onto one thiol group to form -S-S-, and sulfide is
spontaneously expelled from this by reaction with the other thiol
group. May be identical with EC 2.8.1.1 thiosulfate
sulfurtransferase. |
