Under chronic hyperglycemia, HIF-3 suppression upregulates pro-apoptotic proteins (e.g., Caspase-3) while downregulating anti-apoptotic counterparts (e.g., Bcl-2), accelerating cardiomyocyte apoptosis
In the second half-reaction, a sulfite molecule attacks the terminal sulfur atom of this persulfide, yielding thiosulfate and regenerating free Cys248 at the active site (Figure 13) ( k cat / K m value for the TST-catalyzed reaction with GSSH as a sulfur donor and sulfite as a sulfur acceptor was nearly 1,000-fold higher than that for the reverse reaction with thiosulfate as a sulfur donor and GSH as a sulfur acceptor ( FIGURE 13 To date, no selective small-molecule inhibitor of TST suitable for mechanistic analysis in cells or tissues has been reported
Mutations in the HMGCL gene result in HMG-CoA lyase deficiency, a disorder referred to as 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric aciduria
