KEGG   ENZYME: 2.8.1.5
Entry
EC 2.8.1.5                  Enzyme                                 
Name
thiosulfate---dithiol sulfurtransferase;
thiosulfate reductase;
TSR
Class
Transferases;
Transferring sulfur-containing groups;
Sulfurtransferases
Sysname
thiosulfate:dithioerythritol sulfurtransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
thiosulfate + dithioerythritol = sulfite + 4,5-cis-dihydroxy-1,2-dithiacyclohexane (i.e. oxidized dithioerythritol) + sulfide [RN:R05072]
Reaction(KEGG)
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.
