Identification
Name:Sulfite
DescriptionSulfite is a doubly negatively charged anion containing 1 sulfur and 3 oxygens. Endogenous sulfite is generated as a consequence of the normal processing of sulfur-containing amino acids. In E.coli, sulfites are involved in 3 metabolic pathways: cysteine and methionine metabolism, taurine and hypotaurine metabolims and sulfur metabolism. (KEGG)

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in thiosulfate sulfurtransferase activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes, although with low efficiency, the sulfur transfer reaction from thiosulfate to cyanide. The relatively low affinity of glpE for both thiosulfate and cyanide suggests that these compounds are not the physiological substrates. Thioredoxin 1 or related dithiol proteins could instead be the physiological sulfur-acceptor substrate. Possible association with the metabolism of glycerol-phosphate remains to be elucidated
