Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

• These results suggest that the sulfite reductase is a major paraquat reductase in E.
• The methyl viologen-sulfite reductase is unaffected.
• coli sulfite reductase is a self-contained complex of electron transport carriers including a heme-type component which, by virtue of its spectrophotometric, solubility, and chromatographic properties, is clearly distinguishable from previously described hemes.
• Dissimilatory sulfite reductase is a complex system with 20 Fe atoms/alpha 2 beta 2 gamma 2 hexamer.
• This observation further supports our current perception that the dissimilatory (bi)sulfite reductase is an ancient enzyme whose evolutionary history is largely consistent with vertical transmission but has also been influenced by periodic lateral gene transfer events.
