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 + hydrogen sulfide + sulfite + 2 H(+)
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.
