Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 is a plant growth-promoting bacterium that efficiently colonizes the leaf surfaces and rhizosphere of a range of plants. Previous studies have identified a putative plant-induced nitrilase gene (pinA) in P. fluorescens SBW25 that is expressed in the

Nitrilases (nitrile aminohydrolases, EC ) are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of nitriles to the corresponding carbon acids. Among the four known nitrilases of Arabidopsis thaliana, the isoform NIT4 is the most divergent one, and homologs of NIT4 are also

The possible role of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in cardioprotection was investigated in isolated rat ventricular myocytes exposed to severe metabolic inhibition (MI) in glucose-free buffer containing 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DOG), an inhibitor of glycolysis. Pretreatment (30 min) with NaHS (a H2S donor)

Recently, periadventitial adipose tissue (PAT) was found to secrete bioactive factors playing an important role in the regulation of vascular tension. Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S), a novel cardiovascular gasotransmitter, relaxes vessels through the K(ATP) channel in a calcium-dependent and endothelial-independent manner.

1. Sodium hydrogen sulphide (NaHS), a donor of hydrogen sulphide (H(2)S), produced dose-related relaxation of the rabbit isolated ileum (EC(50), 76.4+/-7.9 microM) and rat vas deferens (EC(50), 64.8+/-5.4 microM) and reduced ACh-mediated contraction of the guinea-pig isolated ileum. 2. NaHS
