Supersulfides: A Promising Therapeutic Approach for Autoinflammatory Diseases

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page 191-202, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Supersulfides are molecular species characterized by catenated sulfur moieties, including low‐molecular‐weight and protein‐bound supersulfides. Emerging evidence suggests that these molecules, abundantly present in diverse organisms, play essential roles far beyond their chemical properties, such as functions in energy metabolism, protein ...

Elucidation of short linear motif-based interactions of the MIT and rhodanese domains of the ubiquitin-specific protease 8

Biology Direct
Ubiquitin-specific protease 8 (USP8) is a deubiquitinating enzyme with essential functions in protein trafficking and stability. It is a multidomain protein, with an N-terminal MIT (microtubule interacting and trafficking) domain, followed by a non ...

Honeybees Tolerate Cyanogenic Glucosides from Clover Nectar and Flowers

Insects, 2018
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) pollinate flowers and collect nectar from many important crops. White clover (Trifolium repens) is widely grown as a temperate forage crop, and requires honeybee pollination for seed set.

Co-Cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Roseobacter denitrificans Reveal Shifts in Gene Expression Levels Compared to Solo Cultures

The Scientific World Journal, 2012
Consistent biosynthesis of desired secondary metabolites (SMs) from pure microbial cultures is often unreliable. In a proof-of-principle study to induce SM gene expression and production, we describe mixed “co-culturing” conditions and monitoring of ...

Acute liver injury induced by low dose dimethylnitrosamine alters mediators of hepatic vascular flow

Toxicology Reports, 2014
Alterations in liver vascular tone play an important role in chronic liver disease. The hepatic stellate cell (HSC) and mediators such as nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have been implicated in regulation of vascular tone and intra-hepatic ...
