Enzyme Information
| 2.8.1.2 | 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase. based on mapping to UniProt P25325 3-mercaptopyruvate + reduced thioredoxin = pyruvate + hydrogen sulfide + oxidized thioredoxin. -!- The enzyme catalyzes a transsulfuration reaction from 3-mercaptopyruvate to an internal cysteine residue. -!- In the presence of a dithiol such as reduced thioredoxin or dihydrolipoate, the sulfanyl sulfur is released as hydrogen sulfide. -!- The enzyme participates in a sulfur relay process that leads to the 2-thiolation of some tRNAs and to protein urmylation by transferring sulfur between the NFS1 cysteine desulfurase (EC 2.8.1.7) and the MOCS3 sulfurtransferase (EC 2.8.1.11). |
