EC 1.8.7.1 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.8.7.1

Accepted name

assimilatory sulfite reductase (ferredoxin)

Reaction

hydrogen sulfide + 6 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 3 H₂O = sulfite + 6 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 6 H⁺

Other name(s)

ferredoxin-sulfite reductase, SIR (gene name), sulfite reductase (ferredoxin)

Systematic name

hydrogen-sulfide:ferredoxin oxidoreductase

CAS registry number

37256-50-1

Comment

An iron protein. The enzyme participates in sulfate assimilation. While it is usually found in cyanobacteria, plants and algae, it has also been reported in bacteria [4]. Different from EC 1.8.99.5, dissimilatory sulfite reductase, which is involved in prokaryotic sulfur-based energy metabolism. cf. EC 1.8.1.2, assimilatory sulfite reductase (NADPH).

History

created 1972, modified 2015
