| Type: | Conserved_site | Name: | Thiosulphate sulfurtransferase, conserved site |
| Description: | Synonym(s): RhodaneseThiosulphate sulphurtransferase () is an enzyme which catalyses the transfer of the sulphane atom of thiosulphate to cyanide, to form sulphite and thiocyanate. In vertebrates, rhodanese is a mitochondrial enzyme that is involved in forming iron-sulphur complexes and cyanide detoxification. A cysteine residue takes part in the catalytic mechanism [, ]. Some bacterial proteins may also express sulphotransferase activity. These include, SseA from Mycobacterium lepraeand Escherichia coli, Azotobacter vinelandiirhdA, Saccharopolyspora erythraeacysA [] and Synechococcus sp.(strain PCC 7942) rhdA []. | Short Name: | Thiosulphate_STrfase_CS |
