CYSJ

Protein name

RecName: Full=Sulfite reductase [NADPH] flavoprotein alpha-component; Short=SIR-FP; EC=1.8.1.2;

Gene name

cysJ

FUNCTION: Catalyzes the 6-electron reduction of sulfite to sulfide. This is one of several activities required for the biosynthesis of L-cysteine from sulfate. The flavo-protein component catalyzes the electron flow from NADPH -> FAD -> FMN to the hemoprotein component (By similarity).

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

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

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

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

SIMILARITY: Contains 1 flavodoxin-like domain.
