Identification
Name:Thiosulfate sulfurtransferase PspE
Synonyms:
  • TST
  • Phage shock protein E
Gene Name:pspE
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Inorganic ion transport and metabolism
Specific Function:The phage shock protein (psp) operon (pspABCDE) may play a significant role in the competition for survival under nutrient- or energy-limited conditions. PspE catalyzes the sulfur-transfer reaction from thiosulfate to cyanide, to form sulfite and thiocyanate. Also able to use dithiol (dithiothreitol) as an alternate sulfur acceptor. Also possesses a very low mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase activity
