Mycobacterium tuberculosis sulfurtransferase SseA is activated by its neighboring gene product Rv3284. [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Lett
Tuberculosis remains a global health challenge and new therapeutic targets are required. Here, we characterized SseA, a sulfurtransferase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis involved in macrophage infection, and its interaction with the newly identified protein SufEMtb that activates SseA enzymatic activity.

Rhodaneses Enzyme Addition Could Reduce Cyanide Concentration and Enhance Fiber Digestibility via In Vitro Fermentation Study

open access: yesFermentation, 2021
The use of cyanide-containing feed (HCN) is restricted because it causes prussic acid poisoning in animals. The objective of this study was to see how adding rhodanese enzyme to an HCN-containing diet affected gas dynamics, in vitro ruminal fermentation,

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rhodanese RDL2 Uses the Arg Residue of the Active-Site Loop for Thiosulfate Decomposition

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2021
Persulfide, polysulfide and thiosulfate are examples of sulfane sulfur containing chemicals that play multiple functions in biological systems. Rhodaneses are widely present in all three kingdoms of life, which catalyze sulfur transfer among these ...

Sulfur Administration in Fe–S Cluster Homeostasis

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2021
Mitochondria are the key organelles of Fe–S cluster synthesis. They contain the enzyme cysteine desulfurase, a scaffold protein, iron and electron donors, and specific chaperons all required for the formation of Fe–S clusters.

Urm1: A Non-Canonical UBL

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Urm1 (ubiquitin related modifier 1) is a molecular fossil in the class of ubiquitin-like proteins (UBLs). It encompasses characteristics of classical UBLs, such as ubiquitin or SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier), but also of bacterial sulfur-carrier

The Rhodanese PspE Converts Thiosulfate to Cellular Sulfane Sulfur in Escherichia coli

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2023
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and its oxidation product zero-valent sulfur (S0) play important roles in animals, plants, and bacteria. Inside cells, S0 exists in various forms, including polysulfide and persulfide, which are collectively referred to as sulfane ...

Structural and biochemical characterization of an encapsulin-associated rhodanese from Acinetobacter baumannii. [PDF]

open access: yesProtein Sci
Abstract Rhodanese‐like domains (RLDs) represent a widespread protein family canonically involved in sulfur transfer reactions between diverse donor and acceptor molecules. RLDs mediate these transsulfuration reactions via a transient persulfide intermediate, created by modifying a conserved cysteine residue in their active sites.

Effect of Rhodanese Enzyme Addition on Rumen Fermentation, Cyanide Concentration, and Feed Utilization in Beef Cattle Receiving Various Levels of Fresh Cassava Root

open access: yesFermentation, 2022
Fresh cassava root is not recommended for animal feeding due to high quantities of hydrocyanic acid (HCN), which produces symptoms of poisoning. The purpose of this study was to find out how a rhodanese enzyme addition affects rumen fermentation, HCN ...
