1.1.1.313 |
Accepted name: |
sulfoacetaldehyde reductase (NADPH) |
Reaction: |
isethionate + NADP+ = 2-sulfoacetaldehyde + NADPH + H+ |
Glossary: |
isethionate = 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate
2-sulfoacetaldehyde = 2-oxoethanesulfonate |
Other name(s): |
isfD (gene name) |
Systematic name: |
isethionate:NADP+ oxidoreductase |
Comments: |
Catalyses the reaction only in the opposite direction. Involved in taurine degradation. The bacterium Chromohalobacter salexigens strain DSM 3043 possesses two enzymes that catalyse this reaction, a constitutive enzyme (encoded by isfD2) and an inducible enzyme (encoded by isfD). The latter is induced by taurine, and is responsible for most of the activity observed in taurine-grown cells. cf. EC 1.1.1.433, sulfoacetaldehyde reductase (NADH). |

Comments: |
The enzymes from the bacteria Bilophila wadsworthia and Clostridium sp. MSTE9 catalyse the reaction only in the reduction direction. In the bacterium Bifidobacterium kashiwanohense the optimal reaction pH for sulfoacetaldehyde reduction is 7.5, while that for isethionate oxidation is 10.0. cf. EC 1.1.1.313, sulfoacetaldehyde reductase (NADPH). |

Accepted name: |
isethionate sulfite-lyase |
Reaction: |
isethionate = acetaldehyde + sulfite |
Glossary: |
isethionate = 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate |
Other name(s): |
islA (gene name) |
Systematic name: |
isethionate sulfite-lyase |
Comments: |
The enzyme, characterized from the human gut bacterium Bilophila wadsworthia, participates in a taurine degradation pathway that leads to sulfide production. The active form of the enzyme contains a glycyl radical that is generated by a dedicated activating enzyme via chemistry involving S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) and a [4Fe-4S] cluster. |
