Possible Roles of Plant Sulfurtransferases in Detoxification of Cyanide, Reactive Oxygen Species, Selected Heavy Metals and Arsenate

Molecules, 2015
Plants and animals have evolved various potential mechanisms to surmount the adverse effects of heavy metal toxicity. Plants possess low molecular weight compounds containing sulfhydryl groups (-SH) that actively react with toxic metals.

Identification of sulfurtransferase enzymes in Azotobacter vinelandii [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1991
Rhodanese and 3‐mercaptopyruvate sulphurtransferase have been identified in A. vinelandii. Two distinct active fractions of the two sulphurtransferases were obtained after FPLC ion‐exchange chromatography of material partially purified from crude extracts. Rhodanese has been purified to homogeneity, and it consists of one polypeptide chain of M r ca 25

Extending the models for iron and sulfur oxidation in the extreme Acidophile Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

BMC Genomics, 2009
Background Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans gains energy from the oxidation of ferrous iron and various reduced inorganic sulfur compounds at very acidic pH. Although an initial model for the electron pathways involved in iron oxidation has been developed,

Targeting miR‐124‐3p to Induce Antidepressant‐Like Effects in Female Mice: MicroRNA Modulation of Stress Resilience

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 64, Issue 2, July 2026.
miR‐124‐3p mimic reduced immobility in the Porsolt swim test in female mice. Proteomics revealed region‐specific changes in hippocampus, hypothalamus and PFC. Downregulation of immune and stress‐related proteins in hippocampus and hypothalamus. Upregulation of synaptic and metabolic proteins in the prefrontal cortex.

Hemoglobin Digestion Genes Are Conserved in Lizard‐Infective Plasmodium Species With Different Host Cellular Niches

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Despite their evolutionary relatedness to malaria parasites that infect humans, wildlife Plasmodium—particularly those that infect birds and lizards—are understudied, leaving their vast genetic diversity to be explored. By assembling parasite transcriptomes from Plasmodium‐infected lizard blood, we provide the first evidence that lizard‐infective ...

Sulfurtransferase and thioredoxin specifically interact as demonstrated by bimolecular fluorescence complementation analysis and biochemical tests

FEBS Open Bio, 2015
Sulfurtransferases (Strs) and thioredoxins (Trxs) are members of large protein families. Trxs are disulfide reductases and play an important role in redox‐related cellular processes. They interact with a broad range of proteins.

Advances in Research on the Anti‐Tuberculosis Effects of Active Components in Chinese Herbal Medicine

MedComm – Future Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
This review summarizes how active constituents derived from Chinese herbal medicine exert anti‐tuberculosis (TB) effects via immunomodulation, direct inhibition of pathogens, and antioxidant activity. This synergistic, multi‐pathway mechanism highlights their potential as promising therapeutic candidates and adjunctive treatments against drug‐resistant

Production Performance and Ameliorative Effects of Switchgrass on Severely Saline‐Alkali Land in Coastal Areas of China

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2026.
Switchgrass cultivation sustained biomass production while rapidly improving soil structure and reducing salinity in coastal saline‐alkali soils. These changes reshaped microbial communities through environmental filtering, establishing plant‐soil‐microbe feedbacks that support both bioenergy production and ecological restoration.

Sodium thiosulfate treatment rescues hyperglycaemia‐induced pronephros damage in zebrafish by upregulating nitric oxide signalling

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 11, Page 4247-4260, 1 June 2026.
Abstract figure legend Sodium thiosulfate (STS) rescues the pronephros phenotype of pdx1 morphants through compensatory upregulation of nitric oxide (NO) metabolism. Zebrafish larvae injected with a control morpholino show the typical pronephros structure at 48 h post‐fertilization (hpf) with and without STS treatment.

Dietary Ergothioneine as a Novel Anti‐Aging Nutraceutical: Mechanisms, Bioavailability, and Future Perspectives

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Ergothioneine (EGT), a natural thiol derivative, has gained attention as a geroprotective nutraceutical. Preclinical research shows EGT scavenges free radicals, maintains mitochondrial integrity, slows telomere erosion, and regulates proteostasis via autophagy and senescent cell clearance.
