Cardiovascular phenotype of mice lacking 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase. [PDF]
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a physiological mediator that regulates cardiovascular homeostasis. Three major enzymes contribute to the generation of endogenously produced H2S, namely cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST).

3-Mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase supports endothelial cell angiogenesis and bioenergetics. [PDF]
Background and PurposeDuring angiogenesis, quiescent endothelial cells (ECs) are activated by various stimuli to form new blood vessels from pre‐existing ones in physiological and pathological conditions. Many research groups have shown that hydrogen sulfide (H2S), the newest member of the gasotransmitter family, acts as a proangiogenic factor. To date,

Inhibition of the 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase-hydrogen sulfide system promotes cellular lipid accumulation. [PDF]
Abstract H2S is generated in the adipose tissue by cystathionine γ-lyase, cystathionine β-synthase, and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST). H2S plays multiple roles in the regulation of various metabolic processes, including insulin resistance. H2S biosynthesis also occurs in adipocytes.

Oxidative Stress and Iron Addiction: A Comparative Study of 1321N1 Astrocytoma and T98G Glioblastoma Cells with Differential Expression of L-Cysteine-Metabolizing Enzymes [PDF]
Gliomas are central nervous system primary tumors that are distinguished by heterogeneity, broad-based infiltration, and metabolic reprogramming that sustains proliferation, invasion, and therapy refractoriness.

The Effects of Genetic 3-Mercaptopyruvate Sulfurtransferase Deficiency in Murine Traumatic-Hemorrhagic Shock. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction: Hemorrhagic shock is a major cause of death after trauma. An additional blunt chest trauma independently contributes to mortality upon the development of an acute lung injury (ALI) by aggravating pathophysiological consequences of hemorrhagic shock.

Involvement of the Azotobacter vinelandii Rhodanese-Like Protein RhdA in the Glutathione Regeneration Pathway [PDF]
The phenotypic features of the Azotobacter vinelandii RhdA mutant MV474 (in which the rhdA gene was deleted) indicated that defects in antioxidant systems in this organism were related to the expression of the tandem-domain rhodanese RhdA.

Hydrogen sulfide pathway and skeletal muscle: an introductory review. [PDF]
The presence of the H2 S pathway in skeletal muscle (SKM) has recently been established. SKM expresses the three constitutive H2 S-generating enzymes in animals and humans, and it actively produces H2 S.

Sulfurtransferases and Cystathionine Beta-Synthase Expression in Different Human Leukemia Cell Lines
The studies concerned the expression of sulfurtransferases and cystathionine beta-synthase in six human leukemia cell lines: B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia-B-ALL (REH cells), T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia-T-ALL (DND-41 and MOLT-4 cells), acute

Arabidopsis thaliana 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferases interact with and are protected by reducing systems [PDF]
The formation of a persulfide group (-SSH) on cysteine residues has gained attention as a reversible posttranslational modification contributing to protein regulation or protection. The widely distributed 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferases (MSTs) are implicated in the generation of persulfidated molecules and H2S biogenesis through transfer of a ...
