Methionine to cystine ratio in the total sulfur amino acid requirements and sulfur amino acid metabolism using labelled amino acid approach for broilers [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2018 Background Assuming that part of Methionine (Met) is converted into Cystine (Cys), but ignoring the rates with which such phenomenon occurs may lead to an excessive supply of Met in poultry diets.

Sulfur amino acid supplementation displays therapeutic potential in a C. elegans model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2022 A C. elegans model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy reveals a potential role for disrupted sulfur metabolism in the disease and thus the therapeutic potential of sulfur amino acid supplementation.

The regulation of the sulfur amino acid biosynthetic pathway in Cryptococcus neoformans: the relationship of Cys3, Calcineurin, and Gpp2 phosphatases [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 Cryptococcosis is a fungal disease caused by C. neoformans. To adapt and survive in diverse ecological niches, including the animal host, this opportunistic pathogen relies on its ability to uptake nutrients, such as carbon, nitrogen, iron, phosphate ...

Intestinal metabolism of sulfur amino acids [PDF]
Nutrition Research Reviews, 2009 The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is a metabolically significant site of sulfur amino acid (SAA) metabolism in the body and metabolises about 20 % of the dietary methionine intake which is mainly transmethylated to homocysteine and trans-sulfurated to cysteine. The GIT accounts for about 25 % of the whole-body transmethylation and trans-sulfuration.

Sulfur- and seleno-containing amino acids [PDF]
Amino Acids, 2011 This special issue is devoted to professor Toshihiko Ubuka (1934–2008), a distinguished Japanese biochemist who, in his scientific life, researched the metabolism and function of cysteine, sulfur nutrition, modification and renaturation of proteins and the possible significance of cysteine metabolites in antioxidation processes in liver cell ...

MPTAC Determines APP Fragmentation via Sensing Sulfur Amino Acid Catabolism
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Metabolic disorder has been suggested to underlie Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the decisive molecular linkages remain unclear. We discovered that human Molybdopterin Synthase Associating Complex, MPTAC, promotes sulfur amino acid ...
