FUNCTION: Catalyzes the 6-electron reduction of sulfite to sulfide. This is one of several activities required for the biosynthesis of L-cysteine from sulfate. The flavo-protein component catalyzes the electron flow from NADPH -> FAD -> FMN to the hemoprotein component (By similarity).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: H₂S + 3 NADP⁺ + 3 H₂O = sulfite + 3 NADPH.
COFACTOR: Binds 1 FAD per subunit (By similarity).
COFACTOR: Binds 1 FMN per subunit (By similarity).
SUBUNIT: Alpha(8)-beta(8). The alpha component is a flavoprotein, the beta component is a hemoprotein (By similarity).
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 FAD-binding FR-type domain.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 flavodoxin-like domain.
