ENZYME entry: EC 1.8.5.3

Accepted Name
respiratory dimethylsulfoxide reductase
Alternative Name(s)
dimethylsulfoxide reductase
DMSO reductase
Reaction catalysed
a menaquinone + dimethyl sulfide + H2O <=> a menaquinol + dimethyl sulfoxide
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme participates in bacterial electron transfer pathways in which dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) is the terminal electron acceptor.
  • It is composed of three subunits - DmsA contains a bis(guanylyl molybdopterin) cofactor and a [4Fe-4S] cluster, DmsB is an iron- sulfur protein, and DmsC is a transmembrane protein that anchors the enzyme and accepts electrons from the quinol pool.
  • The electrons are passed through DmsB to DmsA and on to DMSO.
  • The enzyme can also reduce pyridine-N-oxide and trimethylamine N-oxide to the corresponding amines with lower activity.
