ENZYME entry: EC 1.8.5.4

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.8.5.4
Accepted Name
bacterial sulfide:quinone reductase
Alternative Name(s)
sulfide:quinone reductase
Reaction catalysed
n a quinone + n hydrogen sulfide + n H(+) = polysulfur(n-2) + n a quinol
Comment(s)
  • Ubiquinone, plastoquinone or menaquinone can act as acceptor in different species.
  • This enzyme catalyzes the formation of sulfur globules.
  • It repeats the catalytic cycle without releasing the product, producing a polysulfide of up to 10 sulfur atoms.
  • The reaction stops when the maximum length of the polysulfide that can be accommodated in the sulfide oxidation pocket is achieved.
  • The enzyme also plays an important role in anoxygenic bacterial photosynthesis. cf. EC 1.8.5.8.
