Thiosulfate sulfurtransferase PspE

UniProtKB accession:  P23857

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  The phage shock protein (psp) operon (pspABCDE) may play a significant role in the competition for survival under nutrient- or energy-limited conditions. PspE catalyzes the sulfur-transfer reaction from thiosulfate to cyanide, to form sulfite and thiocyanate. Also able to use dithiol (dithiothreitol) as an alternate sulfur acceptor. Also possesses a very low mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase activity.
