L-cysteine S-thiosulfotransferase subunit SoxA

UniProtKB accession:  Q939U1

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  C-type diheme cytochrome, which is part of the SoxAX cytochrome complex involved in sulfur oxidation. The SoxAX complex catalyzes the formation of a heterodisulfide bond between the conserved cysteine residue on a sulfur carrier SoxYZ complex subunit SoxY and thiosulfate or other inorganic sulfur substrates. This leads to the liberation of two electrons, which may be transferred from the SoxAX complex to another cytochrome c and which then may be used for reductive CO(2) fixation.
