Immunohistochemical localization of rhodanese
The Histochemical Journal, 1990The role of rhodanese in the detoxication of acute cyanide exposure is controversial. The debate involves questions of the availability of rhodanese to cyanide in the peripheral circulation. Blood-borne cyanide will distribute to the brain and may induce lesions or even death.

The cystathionase-rhodanese system
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Enzymology, 1967Abstract Cystathionase ( l -homoserine hydrolase (deaminating), EC 4.2.1.15) and rhodanese ∗∗ (thiosulfate: cyanide sulfurtransferase, EC 2.8.1.1) have been combined to form a coupled enzyme system which is capable of utilizing cysteine sulfur for transsulfuration. The initial product of the action of Cystathionase on cystine, thiocysteine, is, at

Recombinant bovine rhodanese: purification and comparison with bovine liver rhodanese
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure and Molecular Enzymology, 1992Recombinant bovine rhodanese (thiosulfate: cyanide sulfurtransferase, EC 2.8.1.1) has been purified to homogeneity from Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) by cation-exchange chromatography. Recombinant and bovine liver rhodanese coelectrophorese under denaturing conditions, with an apparent subunit molecular weight of 33,000.

Reaction of rhodanese with dithiothreitol
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Enzymology, 1976The reaction between bovine rhodanese (thiosulfate:cyanide sulfurtransferase, EC 2.8.1.1) and reduced dithiothreitol has been studied. This reagent, in the absence of thiosulfate, reduces the amount of sulfur carried by rhodanese with formation of sulfide and oxidized dithiothreitol: E-S-SH + reduced dithiothreitol replaced by E-SH + HS- + oxidized ...

Rhodanese isozymes in human tissues
Annals of Human Genetics, 1988SummaryAn investigation of a range of tissue homogenates by various electrophoretic methods, followed by staining for specific enzyme activity, has revealed a series of isozymes of human rhodanese. Polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing provided the most data and rhodanese activity was found in all of the tissues examined. The simplest isozyme pattern

Active site peptides of rhodanese
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure, 1970Abstract The active site cysteinyl peptide isolated from a tryptic digest of rhodanese (thiosulfate:cyanide sulfurtransferase, EC 2.8.1.1) by column chromatography has been found to contain 15 amino acid residues, of which 7 are hydrophobic. The tryptophyl peptides in such digests also appear to consist predominantly of residues which are hydrophobic.

Abstract The binding of zinc ion to bovine beef liver rhodanese has been investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance and emission spectroscopic methods. One equivalent of zinc ion is found to bind strongly to the enzyme; however, zinc is absent in the fully active native enzyme and the addition of zinc ion does not enhance catalytic activity.

Rhodanese as a thioredoxin oxidase
The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2000A major catalytic difference between the two most common isoforms of bovine liver mitochondrial rhodanese (thiosulfate: cyanide sulfurtransferase, EC 2.8.1.1) has been observed. Both isoforms were shown to be capable of using reduced thioredoxin as a sulfur-acceptor substrate.

The activity of avian Rhodanese
British Poultry Science, 1977A survey of rhodanese activity (thiosulphate: cyanide sulphur transferase) in the tissues of the domestic fowl revealed that the highest activity occurred in the kidney, approximately twice that in the liver, 316 and 141 mumol SCN formed/min g protein, respectively. 2. In sparrows, pigeons and ducks, liver and kidney activities tended to be similar and

Cyanide detoxification by recombinant bacterial rhodanese
Chemosphere, 2006Cyanide is a major environmental pollutant of the chemical and metallurgical industries. Although extremely toxic, cyanide can enzymatically be converted to the less toxic thiocyanate by rhodaneses (thiosulfate:cyanide sulfurtransferases, EC 2.8.1.1). We engineered a genetic system to express high levels of recombinant Pseudomonas aeruginosa rhodanese (
