ENZYME entry: EC 2.8.1.5

Accepted Name
thiosulfate--dithiol sulfurtransferase
Alternative Name(s)
thiosulfate reductase
Reaction catalysed
dithioerythritol + thiosulfate <=> cis-1,2-dithiane-4,5-diol + 2 H(+) + hydrogen sulfide + sulfite
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme from Chlorella shows very little activity toward monothiols such as glutathione and cysteine (cf. EC 2.8.1.3).
  • The enzyme probably transfers the sulfur atom onto one thiol group to form -S-S(-), and sulfide is spontaneously expelled from this by reaction with the other thiol group.
  • May be identical with EC 2.8.1.1.
