N-(sulfonatooxy)alkenimidothioic acid sulfate-lyase (epithionitrile-forming)

UniProtKB accession:  Q8RY71

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Specifier protein that contributes to constitutive and herbivore-induced simple nitrile formation (By similarity). Converts glucosinolates both to epithionitriles and to simple nitriles in the presence of myrosinase (PubMed:23999604). Promotes the formation of epithionitriles after hydrolysis of alkenylglucosinolates containing a terminal double bond. Mediates indol-3-ylacetonitrile (IACN) production from indol-3-ylmethylglucosinolate (glucobrassicin) (PubMed:22954730). Triggers the production of 3,4-epithiobutylnitrile from 2-propenylisothiocyanate, product of 2-propenylglucosinolate (sinigrin) catalysis by myrosinase (PubMed:19224919, PubMed:22954730). Seems inactive toward benzylglucosinolate (glucotropaeolin) (PubMed:22954730). Acts as a negative regulator of senescence.
