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 leprae and Escherichia coli, Azotobacter vinelandii rhdA, Saccharopolyspora erythraea cysA [] and Synechococcus sp. (strain PCC 7942) rhdA []. |
