4.4.1.41

Accepted name:

(2S)-3-sulfopropanediol sulfolyase

Reaction:

(2S)-2,3-dihydroxypropane-1-sulfonate = hydroxyacetone + sulfite

Glossary:

(2S)-2,3-dihydroxypropane-1-sulfonate = (2S)-3-sulfopropanediol

Other name(s):

DHPS sulfolyase; hpsG (gene name)

Systematic name:

(2S)-2,3-dihydroxypropane-1-sulfonate sulfite-lyase

Comments:

The enzyme, characterized from the human gut bacterium Bilophila wadsworthia, contains a glycyl radical that is generated by a dedicated activating enzyme via chemistry involving S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) and a [4Fe-4S] cluster.
