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.
