IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 1.8.1.2

Names

Accepted name:
assimilatory sulfite reductase (NADPH)
Other names:
H2S-NADP oxidoreductase
NADPH-dependent sulfite reductase
NADPH-sulfite reductase
sulfite (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) reductase
sulfite reductase (NADPH)
sulfite reductase (NADPH2)
MET5 (gene name)
MET10 (gene name)
cysI (gene name)
cysJ (gene name)
Systematic name:
hydrogen-sulfide:NADP+ oxidoreductase

Reaction

Cofactors

Comments:

Contains siroheme, [4Fe-4S] cluster, FAD and FMN. The enzyme, which catalyses the six-electron reduction of sulfite to sulfide, is involved in sulfate assimilation in bacteria and yeast. Different from EC 1.8.99.5, dissimilatory sulfite reductase, which is involved in prokaryotic sulfur-based energy metabolism.
