DE   isethionate sulfite-lyase.
CA   2-hydroxyethane-1-sulfonate = acetaldehyde + H(+) + sulfite.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the human gut bacterium Bilophila
CC       wadsworthia, participates in a taurine degradation pathway that leads
CC       to sulfide production.
CC   -!- The active form of the enzyme contains a glycyl radical that is
CC       generated by a dedicated activating enzyme via chemistry involving
CC       S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) and a [4Fe-4S] cluster.
