Efficient inhibition of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) by sulfuration with solubilized elemental sulfur

Sarah G. Bolton et al.

Summary: Hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, and nitric oxide have attracted increasing scientific interest as gasotransmitter signaling molecules. Particularly, hydrogen sulfide has been studied for its ability to modulate cellular redox environments through the production of oxidized sulfur species. This study explores the inhibition of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase by pure sulfur and different polysulfides, demonstrating the potential of this simplified system for studying sulfur redox chemistry.

Stabilities of Three Key Biological Trisulfides with Implications for Their Roles in the Release of Hydrogen Sulfide and Bioaccumulation of Sulfane Sulfur

Eric M. Brown et al.

Summary: Trisulfides and higher polysulfides serve as important reservoirs of sulfane sulfur in the body and rapidly release persulfides, which have powerful antioxidant and gasotransmitter properties. However, their stabilities in aqueous systems and under different conditions remain poorly understood. This study synthesized biologically important trisulfides and a representative polysulfide and investigated their reactivity in buffered D2O. Results showed that tri- and tetrasulfides degrade rapidly in the presence of amines and are unstable under basic conditions. These findings have implications for understanding the role and stability of polysulfides in biological systems.

Supramolecular Activation of S8 by Cucurbiturils in Water and Mechanism of Reduction to H2S by Thiols: Insights into Biological Sulfane Sulfur Trafficking

Arman C. Garcia et al.

Summary: In this study, using cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) as a hydrophobic host, it was demonstrated that S8 can be encapsulated to form a 1:1 host-guest complex, and the encapsulated S8 can be reduced to H2S by attacking thiols. The study also showed that CB[7]/S8 can increase sulfane sulfur levels in live cells. This work suggests a general activation mechanism of S8 by hydrophobic motifs, which may have implications for understanding the translocation and trafficking of reactive sulfur species (RSS).

Shining a light on SSP4: A comprehensive analysis and biological applications for the detection of sulfane sulfurs

Meg Shieh et al.

Summary: The fluorescent probe SSP4 exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity to sulfane sulfurs in biological systems, even in the presence of interfering species. Protocols for detecting persulfidated proteins and bioimaging sulfane sulfurs have been developed using SSP4, leading to the discovery of new findings in the field.

Effects of hydrogen sulfide on mitochondrial function and cellular bioenergetics

Bindu D. Paul et al.

Summary: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was once thought to be only toxic, but is now known to also act as an endogenous signaling molecule. The effects of H2S on cellular physiology are dose-dependent, with lower concentrations being beneficial and higher concentrations being cytotoxic. In particular, H2S has contrasting effects on mitochondrial function, inhibiting the electron transport chain at higher concentrations and stimulating bioenergetics at lower concentrations.
