Transcription factor YcjW controls the emergency H2S production in E. coli
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) production in Escherichia coli is controlled by the sulfurtransferase 3MST. Here, the authors describe an alternative mechanism for H2S biosynthesis via activation of the thiosulfate sulfurtransferase PspE, a process mediated by ...

Sulfurtransferase and thioredoxin specifically interact as demonstrated by bimolecular fluorescence complementation analysis and biochemical tests [PDF]
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.

Expansion of Thaumarchaeota habitat range is correlated with horizontal transfer of ATPase operons. [PDF]
Thaumarchaeota are responsible for a significant fraction of ammonia oxidation in the oceans and in soils that range from alkaline to acidic. However, the adaptive mechanisms underpinning their habitat expansion remain poorly understood.

Metabolic and vascular effects of thiosulfate sulfurtransferase deletion
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), is a gasotransmitter with several key roles in metabolism and vascular function. The effects of H2S are dependent on concentration and target organ. For example, increased H2S concentrations impair liver metabolic function but protect against vascular dysfunction and atherosclerosis.

Cytoplasmic sulfurtransferases in the purple sulfur bacterium Allochromatium vinosum: evidence for sulfur transfer from DsrEFH to DsrC. [PDF]
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.
