SseA, a 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase fromEscherichia coli: crystallization and preliminary crystallographic data [PDF]
SseA, the translation product of the Escherichia coli sseA gene, is a 31 kDa protein endowed with 3-mercaptopyruvate:cyanide sulfurtransferase activity in vitro. As such, SseA is the prototype of a sulfurtransferase subfamily distinguished from the better known rhodanese sulfurtransferases, which display thiosulfate:cyanide sulfurtransferase activity ...

Conformational studies on Arabidopsis sulfurtransferase AtStr1 with spectroscopic methods [PDF]
Sulfurtransferases/rhodaneses (Str) are enzymes widely distributed in archaea, prokaryota and eukaryota, and catalyze the transfer of sulfur from a donor molecule to a thiophilic acceptor substrate.

Mitochondrial Sulfide Detoxification Requires a Functional Isoform O-Acetylserine(thiol)lyase C in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
In non-cyanogenic species, the main source of cyanide derives from ethylene and camalexin biosyntheses. In mitochondria, cyanide is a potent inhibitor of the cytochrome c oxidase and is metabolised by the β-Cyanoalanine synthase CYS-C1, catalysing the ...

Hydrogen Sulfide and Polysulfides as Biological Mediators
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is recognized as a biological mediator with various roles such as neuromodulation, regulation of the vascular tone, cytoprotection, anti-inflammation, oxygen sensing, angiogenesis, and generation of mitochondrial energy.

Role of Cystathionine Gamma-Lyase in Immediate Renal Impairment and Inflammatory Response in Acute Ischemic Kidney Injury [PDF]
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is known to act protectively during renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). However, the role of the endogenous H2S in acute kidney injury (AKI) is largely unclear.

NRF2 signalling in cytoprotection and metabolism
The KEAP1‐NRF2 system plays a central role in cytoprotection in defence mechanisms against oxidative stress. The KEAP1‐NRF2 system has been regarded as a sulfur‐utilizing cytoprotective mechanism, because KEAP1 serves as a biosensor for electrophiles by using its reactive thiols and NRF2 is a transcriptional factor regulating genes involved in sulfur ...

Discovery of an Inhibitor for Bacterial 3-Mercaptopyruvate Sulfurtransferase that Synergistically Controls Bacterial Survival [PDF]
H2S-producing enzymes in bacteria have been shown to be closely engaged in the process of microbial survival and antibiotic resistance. However, no inhibitors have been discovered for these enzymes, e.g., 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (MST). In the present study, we identified several classes of inhibitors for Escherichia coli MST (eMST) through

Structural and functional characterization of sulfurtransferase from Frondihabitans sp. PAMC28461.
Sulfurtransferases transfer of sulfur atoms from thiols to acceptors like cyanide. They are categorized as thiosulfate sulfurtransferases (TSTs) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferases (MSTs). TSTs transfer sulfur from thiosulfate to cyanide, producing

Regulation of the T-type Ca²⁺ channel Cav3.2 by hydrogen sulfide: Emerging controversies concerning the role of H₂S in nociception [PDF]
Ion channels represent a large and growing family of target proteins regulated by gasotransmitters such as nitric oxide, carbon monoxide and, as described more recently, hydrogen sulfide.
