High impact information on TST

• Ligand-induced conformational changes of GroEL alone and with bound rhodanese, citrate synthase, or dihydrofolate reductase were studied by limited proteolysis [1].
• Tissue and intracellular distribution of rhodanese and mercaptopyruvate sulphurtransferase in ruminants and birds [2].
• Rhodanese (thiosulfate: cyanide sulfurtransferase) in the digestive tract of chicken at different stages of development [3].
• The highest specific activity of rhodanese was present in the liver followed by the proventriculus (P < 0.05) [3].
• This study was undertaken to investigate the relationships between stage of embryonic development and early posthatch growth and the level of rhodanese (thiosulfate:cyanide sulfurtransferase) activity in different regions of the digestive tract and liver of chickens [3].

Biological context of TST

• Rhodanese (thiosulfate: cyanide sulfurtransferase, EC 2.8.1.1.) was purified from chicken livers and its amino acid sequence was determined [4].

Anatomical context of TST

• The highest specific activity of rhodanese was in the submucosal layer of proventriculus, followed by liver, heart, the mucosal layer of cecum, rectum, and kidney [5].
• 3-mercaptopyruvate sulphurtransferase and rhodanese activities in the developing chick embryo [6].

Associations of TST with chemical compounds

• A survey of rhodanese activity (thiosulphate: cyanide sulphur transferase) in the tissues of the domestic fowl revealed that the highest activity occurred in the kidney, approximately twice that in the liver, 316 and 141 mumol SCN formed/min g protein, respectively [7].
