Function
CS2H_ACIS1 Catalyzes the conversion of carbon disulfide into hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide, with carbonyl sulfide as an intermediate. Likely plays a key role in sulfur metabolism that allows Acidianus sp. A1-3 to grow on carbon disulfide as the main carbon and energy source. Does not show carbonic anhydrase activity (hydration of CO(2) to carbonate).[1]
