For each group, we measured the pulmonary arterial pressure, sulfur dioxide content in plasma and lung tissue, glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase 1 and 2 mRNAs, micro- and ultra-structural changes in pulmonary arteries, proliferation of pulmonary smooth muscle cells, vascular collagen metabolism, pulmonary endothelial cell inflammatory response, and pulmonary vascular endothelin-1 production in the rats.

This consists of an aspartate aminotransferase (TvAspAT1), which transaminates cysteine to form 3-mercaptopyruvate (3-MP), and mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (TvMST), which transfers the sulfur of 3-MP to a nucleophilic acceptor, generating pyruvate.

Amino Acids. 2010 Mar 22.

Here, we focus on more recent findings regarding: (1) the identification of enzymes associated with high-M (r) cysteine S-conjugate beta-lyases in the cytosolic and mitochondrial fractions of rat liver and kidney; (2) the mechanism of syncatalytic inactivation of rat liver mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase by the nephrotoxic beta-lyase substrate S-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)-L: -cysteine (the cysteine S-conjugate of tetrafluoroethylene); (3) toxicant channeling of reactive fragments from the active site of mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase to susceptible proteins in the mitochondria; (4) the involvement of cysteine S-conjugate beta-lyases in the metabolism/bioactivation of drugs and natural products; and (5) the role of cysteine S-conjugate beta-lyases in the metabolism of selenocysteine Se-conjugates.
