ON THE ROLE OF CYSTATHIONINE-γ-LYASE IN MODULATING TRANSSULFURATION PATHWAY IN THE LENS [PDF]
In Mammals transsulfuration pathway enables the conversion of homocysteine (Hcy), deriving from methionine (Met) transmetilation, into cysteine (Cys) through two steps, the first catalyzed by cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) and the second one by ...

Gasotransmitters: novel regulators of ion channels and transporters [PDF]
More than 25 years ago, it was a big surprise for physiologists that nitric oxide (NO) was identified as the endothelium derived relaxing factor which is responsible for endothelium-induced smooth muscle relaxation (Ignarro et al., 1987).

Nuclear localised more sulphur accumulation1 epigenetically regulates sulphur homeostasis in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Sulphur (S) is an essential element for all living organisms. The uptake, assimilation and metabolism of S in plants are well studied. However, the regulation of S homeostasis remains largely unknown.

Hydrogen sulfide and its role in female reproduction
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gaseous signaling molecule produced in the body by three enzymes: cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS), cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST).

Overexpression of Cystathionine γ-Lyase Suppresses Detrimental Effects of Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 [PDF]
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a polyglutamine (polyQ) disorder caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the ataxin-3 (ATXN3) gene resulting in toxic protein aggregation. Inflammation and oxidative stress are considered secondary factors contributing

Significance of Hydrogen Sulfide Production in the Pancreatic β-Cell
.: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important signaling molecule in various mammalian cells and tissues. H2S is synthesized from l-cysteine and regulates several cellular and physiological phenomena (vasorelaxation, hormone secretion, and apoptosis) and ...

Inhibition of cystathionine gamma-lyase and the biosynthesis of endogenous hydrogen sulphide ameliorates gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity [PDF]
Clinical use of gentamicin over prolonged periods is limited because of dose- and time-dependent nephrotoxicity. Primarily, lysosomal phospholipidosis, intracellular oxidative stress and heightened inflammation have been implicated.
