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
Show
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.
