Mechanistic Implications of Persulfenate and Persulfide Binding in the Active Site of Cysteine Dioxygenase

open access: yes, 2016
Describing the organization of substrates and substrate analogues in the active site of cysteine dioxygenase identifies potential intermediates in this critical yet poorly understood reaction, the oxidation of cysteine to cysteine sulfinic acid.

Polymeric Persulfide Prodrugs: Mitigating Oxidative Stress through Controlled Delivery of Reactive Sulfur Species

open access: yes, 2020
Related biologically to the known gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S), persulfides (R–SSH) have recently been recognized as native signaling compounds and redox regulators in their own right.

Oxidative Stress: Molecular Mechanisms, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Oxidative stress occurs when the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production overwhelms the ROS scavenging, which lead to genomic instability, epigenetic regulation, proteostasis imbalance, and lipid peroxidation, subsequently causing the occurrence and development of numerous diseases. ABSTRACT Although the physiological level of reactive oxygen species (

Interaction of Staphylococcus aureus di‐iron Repair of Iron Centers protein with the iron–sulfur cluster assembly SUF system

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Repair of Iron Centers (RIC) proteins are present in several pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, contributing to resistance to nitroxidative stress and virulence. In this work, we investigated the molecular mechanisms by which S. aureus RIC facilitates iron mobilization, through structural analyses and functional studies.

Formation of a U(VI)–Persulfide Complex during Environmentally Relevant Sulfidation of Iron (Oxyhydr)oxides

open access: yes, 2019
Uranium is a risk-driving radionuclide in both radioactive waste disposal and contaminated land scenarios. In these environments, a range of biogeochemical processes can occur, including sulfate reduction, which can induce sulfidation of iron (oxyhydr ...

An Innovative Hydrogen Peroxide-Sensing Scaffold and Insights Towards its Potential as an ROS-Activated Persulfide Donor

open access: yes, 2020
Reactive sulfur species, such as hydrogen sulfide, persulfides, and polysulfides, have recently emerged as key signaling molecules and important physiological mediators within mammalian systems.

NRF2 signalling in cytoprotection and metabolism

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 1, Page 101-114, January 2026.
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 ...

Persulfide Formation Mediates Cysteine and Homocysteine Biosynthesis in Methanosarcina acetivorans

open access: yes, 2017
The mechanisms of sulfur uptake and trafficking in methanogens inhabiting sulfidic environments are highly distinctive. In aerobes, sulfur transfers between proteins occur via persulfide relay, but direct evidence for persulfides in methanogens has been ...
