Sulfur Isotope Effects of Dissimilatory Sulfite Reductase [PDF]
The precise interpretation of environmental sulfur isotope records requires a quantitative understanding of the biochemical controls on sulfur isotope fractionation by the principle isotope-fractionating process within the S cycle, microbial sulfate ...

Structural evolution of the ancient enzyme, dissimilatory sulfite reductase. [PDF]
Abstract Dissimilatory sulfite reductase is an ancient enzyme that has linked the global sulfur and carbon biogeochemical cycles since at least 3.47 Gya. While much has been learned about the phylogenetic distribution and diversity of DsrAB across environmental gradients, far less is known about the structural ...

The Maize Sulfite Reductase Is Involved in Cold and Oxidative Stress Responses [PDF]
Sulfite reductase (SiR) functions in sulfate assimilation pathway. However, whether it is involved in stress response in crops is largely unknown. Here, the SiR ortholog from Zea mays (ZmSiR) was characterized.

Impairment of Sulfite Reductase Decreases Oxidative Stress Tolerance in Arabidopsis Thaliana [PDF]
As an essential enzyme in the sulfate assimilation reductive pathway, sulfite reductase (SiR) plays important roles in diverse metabolic processes such as sulfur homeostasis and cysteine metabolism.

Sulfite Reductase Co-suppression in Tobacco Reveals Detoxification Mechanisms and Downstream Responses Comparable to Sulfate Starvation [PDF]
Sulfite reductase (SIR) is a key enzyme in higher plants in the assimilatory sulfate reduction pathway. SIR, being exclusively localized in plastids, catalyzes the reduction of sulfite (SO32−) to sulfide (S2−) and is essential for plant life.

Regulation and Maturation of the Shewanella oneidensis Sulfite Reductase SirA. [PDF]
AbstractShewanella oneidensis, a metal reducer and facultative anaerobe, expresses a large number of c-type cytochromes, many of which function as anaerobic reductases. All of these proteins contain the typical heme-binding motif CXXCH and require the Ccm proteins for maturation. Two c-type cytochrome reductases also possess atypical heme-binding sites,

Structure of dimerized assimilatory NADPH-dependent sulfite reductase reveals the minimal interface for diflavin reductase binding [PDF]
Escherichia coli NADPH-dependent assimilatory sulfite reductase (SiR) reduces sulfite by six electrons to make sulfide for incorporation into sulfur-containing biomolecules. SiR has two subunits: an NADPH, FMN, and FAD-binding diflavin flavoprotein and a

The interaction of ferredoxin-linked sulfite reductase with ferredoxin [PDF]
Spinach sulfite reductase has been shown to co‐migrate during gel filtration chromatography at low ionic strength with spinach ferredoxin. No co‐migration was observed at high ionic strength. These results indicate that the two proteins form a high‐affinity, electrostatically stabilized complex, as had previously been demonstrated for three other ...

Zero-valent sulfur is the product of assimilatory sulfite reductase and a substrate of cysteine synthase [PDF]
The process of the assimilatory sulfate reduction consists of sulfate reduction to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and then H2S assimilation for cysteine synthesis.

Abstract Chloroplast-localized adenosine-5’-phosphosulphate reductase (APR) generates sulfite and plays a pivotal role in reduction of sulfate to cysteine. The peroxisome-localized sulfite oxidase (SO) oxidizes excess sulfite to sulfate.
