CYSI

Protein name

RecName: Full=Sulfite reductase [NADPH] hemoprotein beta-component; Short=SIR-HP; Short=SIRHP; EC=1.8.1.2;

Gene name

cysI

FUNCTION: This enzyme catalyzes the 6-electron reduction of sulfite to sulfide. This is one of several activities required for the biosynthesis of L-cysteine from sulfate (By similarity).

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: H(2)S + 3 NADP(+) + 3 H(2)O = sulfite + 3 NADPH.

COFACTOR: Binds 1 siroheme per subunit (By similarity).

COFACTOR: Binds 1 4Fe-4S cluster per subunit (By similarity).

SUBUNIT: Alpha(8)-beta(4). The alpha component is a flavoprotein, the beta component is a hemoprotein (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the nitrite and sulfite reductase 4Fe-4S domain family.
