The product of Escherichia coli sseA gene (SseA) was the subject of the present investigation aimed to provide a tool for functional classification of the bacterial proteins of the rhodanese family. E. coli SseA contains the motif CGSGVTA around the

Endogenous hydrogen sulfide is a new neuromodulator which takes part in the regulation of central nervous system physiology and diseases. Whether endogenous hydrogen sulfide in the central nervous system regulates cardiovascular activity is not known. In the present study, we
The GSH dependence of the metabolic pathways involved in the conversion of cysteine to sulfate in intact cells has been investigated. It was found that hepatocyte-catalysed sulfate formation from added L-cysteine did not occur if hepatocyte GSH was depleted beforehand
Formation of sulfate in rat liver mitochondria was studied. About 0.1 mumol of sulfate was formed in mitochondria from 1 g of liver in 60 min when 10 mM L-cysteine was used as the substrate. Addition of either 10 mM
It has been assumed that the in vivo reduction of 3-mercaptopyruvate, an intermediate of cysteine metabolism, to 3-mercaptolactate is catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) though no definitive evidence has been presented. In order to examine this assumption, reduction of
