4.8.1.5 |
| Accepted name: |
thiohydroximate-O-sulfate sulfate/sulfur-lyase (nitrile-forming) |
| Reaction: |
an N-(sulfonatooxy)alkanimidothioate = a nitrile + sulfate + sulfur |
| Glossary: |
an N-(sulfonatooxy)alkanimidothioate = a thiohydroximate-O-sulfate |
| Other name(s): |
NSP (gene name); nitrile-specifier protein |
| Systematic name: |
thiohydroximate-O-sulfate sulfate/sulfur-lyase (nitrile-forming) |
| Comments: |
The enzyme is involved in the breakdown of glucosinolates. It can act on both aliphatic and aromatic glucosinolates, and forms nitrile-containing products. cf. EC 4.8.1.6, N-(sulfonatooxy)alkenimidothioic acid sulfate-lyase (epithionitrile-forming), and EC 4.8.1.7, phenyl-N-(sulfonatooxy)methanimidothioate sulfolyase. |
