| Type: | Family | Name: | Thiosulfohydrolase SoxB |
| Description: | SoxB, a di-manganese(II) enzyme, works with SoxYZ and the c-type cytochrome SoxXA in oxidation of thiosulfate to sulfate []. SoxB has sequence similarity to the 5'-nucleotidase family of enzymes, which catalyse the hydrolytic cleavage of phosphate groups from nucleotides []. This sequence similarity suggests that SoxB also carries out a hydrolytic reaction, probably the hydrolysis of a sulfur-sulfur bond, though this activity has not been demonstrated. | Short Name: | Thiosulf_SoxB |
