UniProtKB accession:  A0A0C6DRW4

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the first step of the '4S' desulfurization pathway that removes covalently bound sulfur from dibenzothiophene (DBT) without breaking carbon-carbon bonds. Sulfur dioxygenase which converts DBT to DBT-sulfone (DBTO2 or DBT 5,5-dioxide) in a stepwise manner (Ref.2, PubMed:11229908). Also acts on thioxanthen-9-one and 4,6-dimethyl DBT and 2,8-dimethyl DBT (Ref.2).
