Encodes a homodimeric Mo-enzyme with molybdopterin as organic component of the molybdenum cofactor. It lacks the heme domain that other eukaryotic Mo-enzymes possess and has no redox-active centers other than the molybdenum. SO protein has been found in all parts of the plant. The plant SO combines its enzymatic sulfite oxidation with a subsequent nonenzymatic step using its reaction product H2O2 as intermediate for oxidizing another molecule of sulfite.
