چکیده

The restriction of proteins has recently emerged as the most important factor for the beneficial effects of calorie restriction. Hine et al. now provide strong evidence for the role of the hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas in the protective effects of calorie and protein restriction against ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) but also implicate H2S in longevity extension in model organisms.

Endogenous Hydrogen Sulfide Production Is Essential for Dietary Restriction Benefits

Dietary restriction (DR) without malnutrition encompasses numerous regimens with overlapping benefits including longevity and stress resistance, but unifying nutritional and molecular mechanisms remain elusive. In a mouse model of DR-mediated stress resistance, we found that sulfur amino acid (SAA) restriction increased expression of the transsulfuration pathway (TSP) enzyme cystathionine γ-lya...

Increased transsulfuration mediates longevity and dietary restriction in Drosophila.

The mechanisms through which dietary restriction enhances health and longevity in diverse species are unclear. The transsulfuration pathway (TSP) is a highly conserved mechanism for metabolizing the sulfur-containing amino acids, methionine and cysteine. Here we show that Drosophila cystathionine β-synthase (dCBS), which catalyzes the rate-determining step in the TSP, is a positive regulator of...

Biochemical Aspects of Protein Changes in Seed Physiology and Germination

Seed storage proteins are synthesized as sources of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur for the next generation of plants. Reactive oxygen species serve as second messengers for signal transduction; however, molecular targets of oxidant signaling have not been defined. Here, many researchers showes that ligand–receptor mediated signaling promotes reactive oxygen species– dependent protein carbonylation...

Effect of protein restriction on sulfur amino acid catabolism in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Persons with conventionally treated insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) appear to be impaired in their ability to reduce fed-state urea production appropriately in response to dietary protein restriction (Hoffer LJ, Taveroff A, and Schiffrin A. Am J Physiol 272: E59-E67, 1997). To determine whether these conclusions apply to whole body sulfur amino acid (SAA) catabolism, we used samples ...
