Screening, morphological and molecular characterization of fungi producing cystathionine γ-lyase [PDF]
, 2015 The potency for production of cystathionine γ-lyase (CGL) by the fungal isolates was screened. Among the tested twenty-two isolates, Aspergillus carneus was the potent CGL producer (6.29 U/mg), followed by A. ochraceous (6.03 U/mg), A. versicolor (2.51 U/

Divergent behavior of hydrogen sulfide pools and of the sulfur metabolite lanthionine, a novel uremic toxin, in dialysis patients. [PDF]
, 2016 Dialysis patients display a high cardiovascular mortality, the causes of which are still not completely explained, but are related to uremic toxicity.

Enhanced expression of cystathionine β-synthase and cystathionine γ-lyase during acute cholecystitis-induced gallbladder inflammation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has recently been shown to play an important role in the digestive system, but the role of endogenous H2S produced locally in the gallbladder is unknown.

Biomineralized CdS quantum dot nanocrystals: optimizing synthesis conditions and improving functional properties by surface modification [PDF]
, 2016 An engineered strain of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (SMCD1) is capable of the direct extracellular biomineralization of CdS quantum dot nanocrystals from buffered aqueous solution of cadmium acetate and l-cysteine without the addition of a chemically ...

Analysis of the sulfur-regulated control of the cystathionine γ-lyase gene of
BMC Research Notes, 2012 Background Cystathionine γ-lyase plays a key role in the transsulfuration pathway through its primary reaction of catalyzing the formation of cysteine from cystathionine.

The endogenous production of hydrogen sulphide in intrauterine tissues [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Hydrogen sulphide is a gas signalling molecule which is produced endogenously from L-cysteine via the enzymes cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine gamma-lyase (CSE).

Propargylglycine inhibits hypotaurine/taurine synthesis and elevates cystathionine and homocysteine concentrations in primary mouse hepatocytes [PDF]
, 2015 Our investigation showed that hepatocytes isolated from cysteine dioxygenase knockout mice (Cdo1(−/−)) had lower levels of hypotaurine and taurine than Cdo1(+/+) hepatocytes. Interestingly, hypotaurine accumulates in cultured wild-type hepatocytes.
