Iterative synthetic strategies and gene deletant experiments enable the first identification of polysulfides in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract

New evidence on the role of H2S as a gasotransmitter suggests that the true signalling effectors are polysulfides. Both oxidized polysulfides and hydropolysulfides were synthesized and their presence in S. cerevisiae was observed for the first time. A single gene-deletant approach allowed observation of the modulation of polysulfide species and levels.
