Sulfide:Quinone Oxidoreductase (Sqr) Catalyzes The Initial Procedure On Sulfide Transformation, Alongside Sulfide (HS, S) Oxidization Coupled With Coenzyme Q (CoQ) Reducing And Reactive Sulfur Species (RSS) Production. Here, We Assessed The Reactivity Of Propanethiol (PT) As An Alternative Substrate For Sqr To Maintain Intracellular Homeostasis In Strain S-1 Capable Of Degrading Emerging Sulfur-Containing Pollutants. We Deleted A Gene Encoding Sqr, And Serial Transcriptional Difference Induced By RSS Dynamics Was Therefore Revealed. Next, The Reaction Properties Of Two Sqr Homologs From Strains JMP134 And S-1 Were Comparatively Characterized, Respectively. As A Result, An Additional Role Of Sqr In Yielding RSS From PT Was Found In Reaction Mixture Prepared By Cell-Free Extracts Or Purified Enzymes. Interestingly, The Transformation Velocity Of PT By Sqr Was Slower Than That Of Sulfides. From This Scenario, It Was A Rate-Determining Step That PT As A Nucleophilic Compound Can Be Added Into Sqr Cysteine To Form Disulfide Bond And Likely Serve Nonoptimal Sulfur Recipient. In Addition, The Role Of Persulfidation Driven By RSS In Combating Oxidative And Sulfur Stresses Required To Be Further Clarified. Nevertheless, This Promiscuity Of Sqr-Binding Organosulfur Compounds And Its Catalytic Modulation Underscored That Expanded Substrates Might Benefit Sulfide Homeostasis In Thiol-Degrading Bacteria.

Male infertility, frequently driven by oxidative stress, impacts half of infertile couples globally. Despite its significance, the precise mechanisms governing this process remain elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that ASB1, the substrate recognition subunit of a ubiquitin ligase, is highly expressed in the mouse testis.

Ischemic heart disease is the main global cause of death in the world. Abnormal sulfide catabolism, especially hydrogen sulfide accumulation, impedes mitochondrial respiration and worsens the prognosis after ischemic insults, but the substantial therapeutic strategy has not been established. Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma irradiation therapy is attracted attention as it exerts beneficial effects by producing various reactive molecular species.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS) has traditionally been considered an environmental toxin for animal lineages; yet, it plays a signaling role in various processes at low concentrations. Mechanisms controlling HS in animals, especially in sulfide-rich environments, are not fully understood. The main detoxification pathway involves the conversion of HS into less harmful forms, through a mitochondrial oxidation pathway.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS) has recently been recognized as an important gaseous transmitter with multiple physiological effects in various species. Previous studies have shown that HS alleviated heat-induced ganoderic acids (GAs) biosynthesis, an important quality index of Ganoderma lucidum. However, a comprehensive understanding of the physiological effects and molecular mechanisms of HS in G.

Propanethiol (PT) is a hazardous pollutant that poses risks to both the environment and human well-being. S-1 has been identified as a microorganism capable of utilizing PT as its sole carbon source. However, the metabolic pathway responsible for PT degradation in S-1 has remained poorly understood, impeding its optimization and practical application.
