EC 1.8.2.6 Details
show Brenda entryEC number
1.8.2.6
Accepted name
S-disulfanyl-L-cysteine oxidoreductase
Reaction
[SoxY protein]-S-disulfanyl-L-cysteine + 6 ferricytochrome c + 3 H2O = [SoxY protein]-S-sulfosulfanyl-L-cysteine + 6 ferrocytochrome c + 6 H+
Other name(s)
SoxCD,
sulfur dehydrogenase
Systematic name
[SoxY protein]-S-disulfanyl-L-cysteine:cytochrome-c oxidoreductase
Comment
The enzyme is part of the Sox enzyme system, which participates in a bacterial thiosulfate oxidation pathway that produces sulfate. The enzyme from the bacterium Paracoccus pantotrophus contains a molybdoprotein component and a diheme c-type cytochrome component. The enzyme successively oxidizes the outer sulfur atom in [SoxY protein]-S-disulfanyl-L-cysteine, using three water molecules and forming [SoxY protein]-S-sulfosulfanyl-L-cysteine. During the process, six electrons are transferred to the electron chain via cytochrome c.
