ENZYME entry: EC 1.13.11.95

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.13.11.95
Accepted Name
2-oxoethane-1-sulfonamide synthase
Reaction catalysed
L-cysteine + 2 O2 = 2-oxoethane-1-sulfonamide + CO2 + H2O
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Streptomyces sp. NCIMB40513, is a cupin dioxygenase that participates in the biosynthesis of the monoterpene alkaloids altemicidin, SB-203207 and SB-203208.
  • The enzyme catalyzes a complex transformation: it first catalyzes a monooxygenation of the sulfur atom, which results in decarboxylation and formation of (Z)-(2-aminovinyl)sulfanolate.
  • This is followed by a dioxygenation of the sulfur atom, forming (Z)- 2-aminoethene-1-sulfonate.
  • The resulting compound is unstable and undergoes an intramolecular rearrangement in which the amino group moves onto the oxidized sulfur atom, displacing an oxygen atom in the form of a water molecule and forming an SN bond.
  • Another water molecule (not shown in the overall reaction) donates an oxygen atom that replaces the nitrogen at the other end of the molecule.
