Gap Analysis of Metabolic Conversions of Off‐Flavors and Antinutrients in Plant‐Based Substrates
ABSTRACT To drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the food production chain, a major shift towards alternatives to conventional meat and dairy products is required. The use of plant‐based proteins is a promising route, but it also comes with challenges: Plant‐based proteins often contain antinutritional factors and off‐flavors, which can ...

Cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction disrupt adipose tissue homeostasis during aging, but mechanisms remain unclear. HDAC9 expression increases with age in mouse adipose tissue and Hdac9 knockout mice showed reduced fat mass, senescence markers, and enhanced mitochondrial gene expression, respiration, and thiosulfate sulfurtransferase (Tst)

Characterization of a sulfurtransferase from Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
A database search for similarities between sequenced parts of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome with known sulfurtransferase sequences from Escherichia coli and mammals was undertaken to obtain information about plant sulfurtransferase‐like proteins. One gene and several homologous EST clones were identified.

Novel roles of sulfur metabolism in stress‐controlled stomata aperture regulation
Summary Stomatal closure allows plants to conserve water by reducing transpiration during drought. Surprisingly, the assimilation of the macronutrient sulfur is intimately connected to the drought stress response. This Tansley insight will only briefly touch on the general impact of sulfate assimilation on the production of drought‐response metabolites.

Biosynthetic gene cluster for antibiotic acidomycin targeting biotin biosynthesis in mycobacteria was identified in a Streptomyces bacterium, and its identity was confirmed by gene knockout and heterologous expression. This cluster is located in proximity to the genes cluster for stravidins targeting a different step in the biotin biosynthesis pathway.

Thiosulphate sulfurtransferase: Biological roles and therapeutic potential
Mitochondria are central to eukaryotic cell function, driving energy production, intermediary metabolism, and cellular homeostasis. Dysregulation of mitochondrial function often results in oxidative stress, a hallmark of numerous diseases, underscoring the critical need for maintaining mitochondrial integrity.

Plant mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferases [PDF]
Mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (MST, EC 2.8.1.2) and thiosulfate sulfurtransferase (TST, rhodanese, EC 2.8.1.1) are evolutionarily related enzymes that catalyze the transfer of sulfur ions from mercaptopyruvate and thiosulfate, respectively, to cyanide ions.

ABSTRACT Aim Unlike humans, brown bears (Ursus arctos) uniquely preserve skeletal muscle mass and function during months of hibernation despite prolonged fasting and inactivity. We investigated how mitochondrial energetics respond in skeletal muscle to support this remarkable resilience.

Unraveling the role of thiosulfate sulfurtransferase in metabolic diseases
Thiosulfate sulfurtransferase (TST, EC 2.8.1.1), also known as Rhodanese, is a mitochondrial enzyme which catalyzes the transfer of sulfur in several molecular pathways. After its initial identification as a cyanide detoxification enzyme, it was found that its functions also include sulfur metabolism, modification of iron‑sulfur clusters and the ...

Lifespan‐Extending Endogenous Metabolites
Endogenous metabolites act as mediators of longevity by modulating conserved cellular pathways. We summarize mechanistic evidence linking specific metabolites to lifespan and healthspan benefits across model systems, with discussion of clinical evidence, translational opportunities, and remaining knowledge gaps.
