Substrates: colloidal sulfur generated from polysulfide is a better substrate than the elemental sulfur. The sulfur reductase activity requires anaerobic conditions (the product sulfide is oxidized by oxygen) Products: -

Substrates: NADH can not replace NADPH, the purified recombinant enzyme catalyzes the reduction of polysulfide with NADPH as an electron donor and it also reduces oxygen Products: -

Substrates: the rate of sulfide production from colloidal sulfur is linear (up to 10 min) suggesting that this is the true substrate for the enzyme. A lag phase in sulfide production would be expected if polysulfide, which is generated by the reaction of sulfide with elemental sulfur, is the natural substrate. A less-than-twofold increase in activity is observed, both at pH 7.0 and at pH 9.0, when polysulfide (11 mM) is used as the substrate compared to when elemental sulfur (6.4 g/liter) is used. Polysulfide is stable at pH 8 and readily dissociates to colloidal sulfur and sulfide at neutral pH. A much greater stimulation of activity would be observed if polysulfide is the preferred substrate, particularly at the higher pH Products: -
Substrates: a catalytic cycle of TK1299 is proposed suggesting that CoA-SH acts to solubilize S(0) by forming CoA persulfides, followed by reduction of an enzyme-S-S-CoA intermediate produced after both enzymatic and non-enzymatic evolution of H2S from the CoA persulfide, with NADPH as an electron donor Products: -
Substrates: PF1186 is formerly proposed to function as a NAD(P)H-dependent CoA-S-S-CoA reductase (CoADR) gene (EC 1.8.1.14). The specific activity for CoA-S-S-CoA reduction (0.006 mol CoA-S-S-CoA reduced/min/mg) is about 20fold lower than the activity that this enzyme exhibits in the S(0) reduction assay. The formeryly reported CoADR activity represents only a partial reaction of its true physiological function, which is now proposed to be CoA-dependent S(0) reduction Products: -

activities in the presence of NADPH or NADH are completely lost in the absence of CoASH, demonstrating strict CoA-dependency of the enzyme for sulfur reduction. KM: 0.26 mM
the enzyme exhibits activity with preference to NADPH as an electron donor, as indicated by higher specific activity with NADPH (14.0 U/mg) than with NADH (0.75 U/mg) NADH
activities in the presence of NADPH or NADH are completely lost in the absence of CoASH, demonstrating strict CoA-dependency of the enzyme for sulfur reduction. Km: 0.26 mM
the growth of the NADPH sulfur oxidoreductase deletion strain (NSR1) is unaffected, indicating that NSR is not essential for energy conservation during S(0) reduction. Two sulfide dehydrogenase isoenzymes provide a compensatory NADPH-dependent S(0) reduction system
