Recently, periadventitial adipose tissue (PAT) was found to secrete bioactive factors playing an important role in the regulation of vascular tension. Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S), a novel cardiovascular gasotransmitter, relaxes vessels through the K(ATP) channel in a calcium-dependent and endothelial-independent manner.

Nitrilases (nitrile aminohydrolases, EC ) are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of nitriles to the corresponding carbon acids. Among the four known nitrilases of Arabidopsis thaliana, the isoform NIT4 is the most divergent one, and homologs of NIT4 are also

The possible role of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in cardioprotection was investigated in isolated rat ventricular myocytes exposed to severe metabolic inhibition (MI) in glucose-free buffer containing 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DOG), an inhibitor of glycolysis. Pretreatment (30 min) with NaHS (a H2S donor)

Cyanoalanine hydratase (E.C. 4.2.1.65) is an enzyme involved in the cyanide detoxification pathway of higher plants and catalyzes the hydrolysis of beta-cyano-L-alanine to asparagine. We have isolated the enzyme from seedlings of blue lupine (Lupinus angustifolius) to obtain protein sequence

The reaction mechanisms of three enzymes belonging to a single gene family are compared: a cyanoalanine synthase and two isoforms of O-acetylserine (thiol) lyase (O-ASTL) isolated from spinach (Spinacea oleracea L. cv. Medina). O-ASTL represents a major regulatory point in
