Encodes a protein that has an unexpected bifunctional capability in vitro. The purified enzyme has adenylylsulfate sulfohydrolase activity (E.C. 3.6.2.1) and ADP-sulfurylase activity (E.C. 2.7.7.5). The latter is activated at low pH. The enzyme can exert it phosphorylase activity on a range of related substrates in vitro, but it acts best with APS (adenosine 5'-phsophosulfate). This protein appears to function as a homodimer.
