ID   1.97.1.13
DE   aliphatic sulfonate oxidoreductase.
CA   an aliphatic sulfonate + 4 oxidized [4Fe-4S]-[ferredoxin] + 2 H2O =
CA   4 reduced [4Fe-4S]-[ferredoxin] + a carboxylate + sulfite + 6 H(+).
CC   -!- An oxygen-sensitive enzyme that contains tungsten-molybdopterin and
CC       iron-sulfur clusters, isolated the hyperthermophilic archaeon
CC       Pyrococcus furiosus.
CC   -!- In that organism the enzyme is heterodimeric, comprising a catalytic
CC       subunit that contains the active site tungsto-bispyranopterin
CC       cofactor and a [4Fe-4S] cluster and an electron-transfer subunit that
CC       contains four additional [4Fe-4S] clusters.
CC   -!- The activity involves two steps: an oxidative desulfonation reaction,
CC       followed by the activation of a second water molecule and oxidation
CC       of the resulting aldehyde (cf. EC 1.2.7.5).
