The major mechanism of removing cyanide from the body is its enzymatic conversion by a sulfurtransferase, e.g. rhodanese, to the less toxic thiocyanate in the presence of a sulfur donor.

Rhodaneses (thiosulfate cyanide sulfurtransferases) are enzymes involved in the production of the sulfur in sulfane form, which has been suggested to be the relevant biologically active sulfur species.

Rhodaneses/sulfurtransferases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze the transfer of sulfane sulfur from a donor molecule to a thiophilic acceptor via an active site cysteine that is modified to a persulfide during the reaction.

Mobilization of the L: -cysteine sulfur for the persulfuration of the rhodanese of Azotobacter vinelandii, RhdA, can be mediated by the A. vinelandii cysteine desulfurases, IscS and NifS.

By proteomic analysis, we found a rhodanese-like protein (RhdA) from Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 whose C-terminal contained a cysteine motif (Cys-XX-Trp-XX-Cys), known to bind iron-sulfur clusters.

The enzymatic activities involved in sulfide oxidation by the colonic epithelial cells appear to be sulfide quinone oxidoreductase considered as the first and rate-limiting step followed presumably by the action of sulfur dioxygenase and rhodanese.
