Reaction: O-phospho-L-serine + thiosulfate = S-sulfo-L-cysteine + phosphate
Other name(s): cysK2 (gene name); thiosulfate:3-phospho-L-serine thiosulfotransferase
Systematic name: thiosulfate:3-phospho-L-serine thiosulfonotransferase
Comments: The enzyme, which has been characterized from the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has no activity with O-acetyl-L-serine. Requires pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. cf. EC 2.5.1.144, S-sulfo-L-cysteine synthase (O-acetyl-L-serine-dependent).
