EC	4.4.1.41
Accepted name:	(2S)-3-sulfopropanediol sulfolyase
Reaction:	(2S)-2,3-dihydroxypropane-1-sulfonate = hydroxyacetone + sulfite
Glossary:	(2S)-2,3-dihydroxypropane-1-sulfonate = (2S)-3-sulfopropanediol
Other name(s):	DHPS sulfolyase; hpsG (gene name)
Systematic name:	(2S)-2,3-dihydroxypropane-1-sulfonate sulfite-lyase
Comments:	The enzyme, characterized from the human gut bacterium Bilophila wadsworthia, contains a glycyl radical that is generated by a dedicated activating enzyme via chemistry involving S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) and a [4Fe-4S] cluster.
