Function

Siroheme synthase (CysG) catalyzes the reduction of sulfite to sulfide or nitrite to ammonia[1]. CysG substrate is a tetrapyrrole.

Structural highlights

The tetrapyrrole in siroheme is heavily negatively charged because of the 8 acetyl and propionyl carboxylates at the corners of the siroheme and it interacts with residues of subunit #1 and subunit #2. Seven of these residues are positively charged Arg and Lys residues.
