Functional Family Sulfide-quinone reductase

Enzyme Information

1.8.5.4
Bacterial sulfide:quinone reductase.
based on mapping to UniProt B7JBP8
n sulfide + n quinone = polysulfide + n quinol.
-!- Ubiquinone, plastoquinone or menaquinone can act as acceptor in different species. -!- This enzyme catalyzes the formation of sulfur globules. -!- It repeats the catalytic cycle without releasing the product, producing a polysulfide of up to 10 sulfur atoms. -!- The reaction stops when the maximum length of the polysulfide that can be accommodated in the sulfide oxidation pocket is achieved. -!- The enzyme also plays an important role in anoxygenic bacterial photosynthesis. -!- Cf. EC 1.8.5.8.
