Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) metabolism in mitochondria and its regulatory role in energy production [Cell Biology]
Although many types of ancient bacteria and archea rely on hydrogen sulfide (H2S) for their energy production, eukaryotes generate ATP in an oxygen-dependent fashion. We hypothesize that endogenous H2S remains a regulator of energy production in mammalian cells under stress conditions, which enables the body to cope with energy demand when oxygen supply is insufficient. Cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) is a major H2S-producing enzyme in the cardiovascular system that uses cysteine as the main substrate. Here we show that CSE is localized only in the cytosol, not in mitochondria, of vascular...
