Cystathionine γ-lyase and hydrogen sulfide modulates glucose transporter Glut1 expression via NF-κB and PI3k/Akt in macrophages during inflammation. [PDF]
Macrophages play a crucial role in inflammation, a defense mechanism of the innate immune system. Metabolic function powered by glucose transporter isoform 1 (Glut1) is necessary for macrophage activity during inflammation. The present study investigated

Skeletal muscle cystathionine γ-lyase deficiency promotes obesity and insulin resistance and results in hyperglycemia and skeletal muscle injury upon HFD in mice. [PDF]
Objectives The objective of this study was to investigate whether skeletal muscle cystathionine γ-lyase (CTH) contributes to high-fat diet (HFD)-induced metabolic disorders using skeletal muscle Cth knockout (CthΔskm) mice.

Purification and characterization of cystathionine γ-lyase fromLactobacillus fermentumDT41 [PDF]
A homo-tetrameric ca. 140-kDa cystathionine gamma-lyase was purified to homogeneity from Lactobacillus fermentum DT41 by four chromatographic steps. This was the first enzyme responsible for amino acid catabolism purified from lactobacilli. The activity is pyridoxal-5'-phosphate dependent and the enzyme catalyzes the alpha,gamma-elimination reaction of

Global Survey, Expressions and Association Analysis of CBLL Genes in Peanut
Cystathionine γ-synthase (CGS), methionine γ-lyase (MGL), cystathionine β-lyase (CBL) and cystathionine γ-lyase (CGL) share the Cys_Met_Meta_PP domain and play important roles in plant stress response and development.

Persulfidation of Human Cystathionine γ-Lyase Inhibits Its Activity: A Negative Feedback Regulation Mechanism for H2S Production. [PDF]
Cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) is the second enzyme in the trans-sulfuration pathway that converts cystathionine to cysteine. It is also one of three major enzymes responsible for the biosynthesis of hydrogen sulfide (H2S).

Cystine rather than cysteine is the preferred substrate for β-elimination by cystathionine γ-lyase: implications for dietary methionine restriction. [PDF]
Dietary methionine restriction (MR) increases longevity by improving health. In experimental models, MR is accompanied by decreased cystathionine β-synthase activity and increased cystathionine γ-lyase activity.

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.
