The enzyme is essential in prokaryotic sulfur-based energy metabolism, including sulfate/sulfite reducing organisms, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, and organosulfonate reducers. In sulfur reducers it catalyses the reduction of sulfite to sulfide (reaction 1), while in sulfur oxidizers it catalyses the opposite reaction (reaction 2).[2] The reaction involves the small protein DsrC, which is present in all the organisms that contain dissimilatory sulfite reductase.[3] During the process an intramolecular trisulfide is formed between two L-cysteine residues of DsrC and the sulfur atom from sulfite.[4] This trisulfide can be reduced by a number of proteins including DsrK and TcmB.[5]

Reaction in organisms performing dissimilatory sulfate reduction:

(1) sulfite a [DsrC protein]-dithiol 2 reduced acceptor 2 H = hydrogen sulfide a [DsrC protein]-disulfide 2 acceptor 3 H2O (overall reaction)
(1a) sulfite a [DsrC protein]-dithiol 2 reduced acceptor 2 H = a [DsrC protein]-S-sulfanyl-L-cysteine 2 acceptor 3 H2O
(1b) a [DsrC protein]-S-sulfanyl-L-cysteine = hydrogen sulfide a [DsrC protein]-disulfide

Reaction in organisms performing sulfur oxidation:

(2) a [DsrC protein]-S-sulfanyl-L-cysteine 3 acceptor 3 H2O = sulfite a [DsrC protein]-disulfide 3 reduced acceptor 2 H (overall reaction)
(2a) a [DsrC protein]-S-sulfanyl-L-cysteine 3 acceptor 3 H2O = a [DsrC]-S-sulfo-L-cysteine 3 reduced acceptor H
(2b) a [DsrC]-S-sulfo-L-cysteine = sulfite a [DsrC protein]-disulfide

The systematic name of this enzyme class is hydrogen-sulfide:[DsrC sulfur-carrier protein],acceptor oxidoreductase.

This enzyme is different from EC 1.8.1.2, assimilatory sulfite reductase (NADPH), and EC 1.8.7.1, assimilatory sulfite reductase (ferredoxin), which are involved in sulfate assimilation.
