The putative thiosulfate sulfurtransferases PspE and GlpE contribute to virulence of Salmonella Typhimurium in the mouse model of systemic disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The phage-shock protein PspE and GlpE of the glycerol 3-phosphate regulon of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium are predicted to belong to the class of thiosulfate sulfurtransferases, enzymes that traffic sulfur between molecules.

Clonal Stabilization Reveals a DAO/3MST-Expressing MDCK Subpopulation With Robust d-Cysteine-Mediated H<sub>2</sub>S Production. [PDF]
FASEB JA subpopulation of MDCK (NBL‐2) cells, an epithelial cell line derived from the normal kidney, expresses DAO and 3MST. The DAO/3MST‐expressing cells are progressively eliminated during passaging; however, clonal isolation enables the establishment of sublines that maintain stable H2S production. Clonal cells co‐expressing DAO and 3MST therefore provide

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

Cytoplasmic sulfurtransferases in the purple sulfur bacterium Allochromatium vinosum: evidence for sulfur transfer from DsrEFH to DsrC. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 While the importance of sulfur transfer reactions is well established for a number of biosynthetic pathways, evidence has only started to emerge that sulfurtransferases may also be major players in sulfur-based microbial energy metabolism.

CoQ deficiency causes disruption of mitochondrial sulfide oxidation, a new pathomechanism associated with this syndrome [PDF]
, 2017 Coenzyme Q (CoQ) is a key component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, but it also has several other functions in the cellular metabolism. One of them is to function as an electron carrier in the reaction catalyzed by sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase (

Involvement of the Azotobacter vinelandii Rhodanese-Like Protein RhdA in the Glutathione Regeneration Pathway [PDF]
, 2012 The phenotypic features of the Azotobacter vinelandii RhdA mutant MV474 (in which the rhdA gene was deleted) indicated that defects in antioxidant systems in this organism were related to the expression of the tandem-domain rhodanese RhdA.

The β-cyanoalanine pathway is involved in the response to water deficit in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
, 2013 The β-cyanoalanine pathway is primarily responsible for detoxification of excess cyanide produced by plants. Recent evidence suggests that cyanide detoxification via this pathway may be involved in the response and tolerance to water deficit in plants ...

Enzymatic activity of the Arabidopsis sulfurtransferase resides in the C-terminal domain but is boosted by the N-terminal domain and the linker peptide in the full-length enzyme [PDF]
, 2005 Sulfurtransferases/rhodaneses are a group of enzymes widely distributed in plants, animals, and bacteria that catalyze the transfer of sulfur from a donor molecule to a thiophilic acceptor substrate.
