Enzyme Information

2.8.1.2
3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q99J99
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).
