1.8.2.1

Accepted name:

sulfite dehydrogenase (cytochrome)

Reaction:

sulfite + 2 ferricytochrome c + H₂O = sulfate + 2 ferrocytochrome c + 2 H⁺

Other name(s):

sulfite cytochrome c reductase; sulfite-cytochrome c oxidoreductase; sulfite oxidase (ambiguous); sulfite dehydrogenase (ambiguous); sorAB (gene names)

Systematic name:

sulfite:ferricytochrome-c oxidoreductase

Comments:

Associated with cytochrome c-551. The enzyme from the bacterium Starkeya novella contains a molybdopyranopterin cofactor and a smaller monoheme cytochrome c subunit. cf. EC 1.8.5.6, sulfite dehydrogenase (quinone).
