EC 3.1.6.20     
Accepted name: S-sulfosulfanyl-L-cysteine sulfohydrolase
Reaction: (1) [SoxY protein]-S-sulfosulfanyl-L-cysteine + H2O = [SoxY protein]-S-sulfanyl-L-cysteine + sulfate
(2) [SoxY protein]-S-(2-sulfodisulfanyl)-L-cysteine + H2O = [SoxY protein]-S-disulfanyl-L-cysteine + sulfate
Other name(s): SoxB
Systematic name: [SoxY protein]-S-sulfosulfanyl-L-cysteine sulfohydrolase
Comments: Contains Mn2+. The enzyme is part of the Sox enzyme system, which participates in a bacterial thiosulfate oxidation pathway that produces sulfate. It catalyses two reactions in the pathway. In both cases the enzyme hydrolyses a sulfonate moiety that is bound (either directly or via a sulfane) to a cysteine residue of a SoxY protein, releasing sulfate. The enzyme from Paracoccus pantotrophus contains a pyroglutamate (cycloglutamate) at its N-terminus.
