Namesulfate reduction to sulfide, assimilatory
TypePATHWAY
DescriptionThe reduction of sulfate to sulfide in sulfate assimilatory prokaryotes is initiated by the activation of sulfate in an adenylation reaction catalyzed by sulfate adenylyltransferase. The product, 5-adenylylsulfate (APS) , is either directly reduced by a thioredoxin-dependent APS reductase to sulfite, in a reaction similar to that found in sulfate dissimilators and plants, or phosphorylated to the intermediate, 3-phosphoadenylylsulfate (PAPS). The later is then reduced by a thioredoxin-dependent PAPS reductase to sulfite. The sulfite product from either branch of the assimilation pathway is enzymatically reduced by sulfite reductase to sulfide, for incorporation into an amino acid acceptor, peptide, or protein etc. [1].
