Mycobacterium tuberculosis sulfurtransferase SseA is activated by its neighboring gene product Rv3284. [PDF]
Tuberculosis remains a global health challenge and new therapeutic targets are required. Here, we characterized SseA, a sulfurtransferase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis involved in macrophage infection, and its interaction with the newly identified protein SufEMtb that activates SseA enzymatic activity.

Hypertension and Aging Affect Liver Sulfur Metabolism in Rats
Hypertension and age are key risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gaseous transmitter, contributes significantly to regulating arterial blood pressure and aging processes.

The Quantitative Significance of the Transsulfuration Enzymes for H2S Production in Murine Tissues [PDF]
The enzymes of the transsulfuration pathway, cystathionine --synthase (CBS) and cystathionine --lyase (CSE), are important for the endogenous production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gaseous signaling molecule. The relative contributions of CBS and CSE to

Escherichia coli Uses Separate Enzymes to Produce H2S and Reactive Sulfane Sulfur From L-cysteine
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been proposed to have various physiological functions, and it may function through reactive sulfane sulfur. Since the two sulfur forms often coexist, they are normally considered interchangeable.

A Proteomic Approach to Study the Effect of Thiotaurine on Human Neutrophil Activation [PDF]
Thiotaurine, a thiosulfonate related to taurine and hypotaurine, is formed by a metabolic process from cystine and generated by a transulfuration reaction between hypotaurine and thiocysteine.

The double-edged sword role of hydrogen sulfide in hepatocellular carcinoma
With an increasing worldwide prevalence, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignant tumor of the liver in the world. It is also the primary reason for cancer-related death in the world. The pathogenesis of HCC is complex, such as

In Vivo Anti-inflammatory Activity of Lipoic Acid Derivatives in Mice [PDF]
Background: In mammals lipoic acid (LA) and its reduced form dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) function as cofactors for multienzymatic complexes catalyzing the decarboxylation of α-ketoacids.
