Contains siroheme. The enzyme is essential in prokaryotic sulfur-based energy metabolism, including sulfate/sulfite reducing organisms, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, and organosulfonate reducers. The system comprises the DsrAB reductase and the DsrL protein, which form a tight complex. The reaction involves the small protein DsrC, which is present in all the organisms that contain dissimilatory sulfite reductase. In sulfite reducers the DsrL component transfers two electrons from NADH to the DsrAB component, which then reduces the sulfur in sulfite to an S(II) intermediate that forms (together with two cysteine residues of DsrC) a trisulfide. In sulfur oxidizers the enzyme catalyses the opposite reaction .

The enzyme appears in viruses and cellular organisms
