Identification and characterization of single‐domain thiosulfate sulfurtransferases from Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Sulfurtransferases/rhodaneses (ST) are a group of enzymes widely distributed in all three phyla that catalyze the transfer of sulfur from a donor to a thiophilic acceptor substrate. All ST contain distinct structural domains, and can exist as single‐domain proteins, as tandemly repeated modules in which the C‐terminal domain bears the active site, or ...

Thiosulfate sulfurtransferase and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activities in cholestatic rat liver induced by common bile duct ligation [PDF]
We have investigated the effect of cholestasis on the hepatic thiosulfate sulfurtransferase (rhodanese) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UDP-GT) activities in rats. Rhodanese activities in the liver cytosol, mitochondria and microsomal fractions as well as in the rat serum, and UDP-GT activity in the microsome have been investigated for a period of 42 ...

Hydrogen Sulfide Metabolizing Enzymes in the Intestinal Mucosa in Pediatric and Adult Inflammatory Bowel Disease. [PDF]
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a toxic gas that has important regulatory functions. In the colon, H2S can be produced and detoxified endogenously. Both too little and too much H2S exposure are associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic ...

Structural and functional characterization of sulfurtransferase from Frondihabitans sp. PAMC28461. [PDF]
Sulfurtransferases transfer of sulfur atoms from thiols to acceptors like cyanide. They are categorized as thiosulfate sulfurtransferases (TSTs) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferases (MSTs). TSTs transfer sulfur from thiosulfate to cyanide, producing

Involvement of the Azotobacter vinelandii Rhodanese-Like Protein RhdA in the Glutathione Regeneration Pathway [PDF]
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.

Sulfurtransferases and Cystathionine Beta-Synthase Expression in Different Human Leukemia Cell Lines
The studies concerned the expression of sulfurtransferases and cystathionine beta-synthase in six human leukemia cell lines: B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia-B-ALL (REH cells), T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia-T-ALL (DND-41 and MOLT-4 cells), acute

NRF2 signalling in cytoprotection and metabolism
The KEAP1‐NRF2 system plays a central role in cytoprotection in defence mechanisms against oxidative stress. The KEAP1‐NRF2 system has been regarded as a sulfur‐utilizing cytoprotective mechanism, because KEAP1 serves as a biosensor for electrophiles by using its reactive thiols and NRF2 is a transcriptional factor regulating genes involved in sulfur ...
