ID   2.8.1.5
DE   thiosulfate--dithiol sulfurtransferase.
AN   thiosulfate reductase.
CA   dithioerythritol + thiosulfate = cis-1,2-dithiane-4,5-diol + 2 H(+) +
CA   hydrogen sulfide + sulfite.
CC   -!- The enzyme from Chlorella shows very little activity toward
CC       monothiols such as glutathione and cysteine (cf. EC 2.8.1.3).
CC   -!- The enzyme probably transfers the sulfur atom onto one thiol group to
CC       form -S-S(-), and sulfide is spontaneously expelled from this by
CC       reaction with the other thiol group.
CC   -!- May be identical with EC 2.8.1.1.
