ID   3.1.6.20
DE   S-sulfosulfanyl-L-cysteine sulfohydrolase.
CA   (1) S-sulfosulfanyl-L-cysteinyl-[SoxY protein] + H2O = S-sulfanyl-L-
CA   cysteinyl-[SoxY protein] + sulfate + H(+).
CA   (2) S-(2-sulfodisulfanyl)-L-cysteinyl-[SoxY protein] + H2O =
CA   S-disulfanyl-L-cysteinyl-[SoxY protein] + sulfate + H(+).
CC   -!- The enzyme is part of the Sox enzyme system, which participates in a
CC       bacterial thiosulfate oxidation pathway that produces sulfate.
CC   -!- It catalyzes two reactions in the pathway.
CC   -!- In both cases the enzyme hydrolyzes a sulfonate moiety that is bound
CC       (either directly or via a sulfane) to a cysteine residue of a SoxY
CC       protein, releasing sulfate.
CC   -!- The enzyme from Paracoccus pantotrophus contains a pyroglutamate
CC       (cycloglutamate) at its N-terminus.
