A glycyl radical enzyme enables hydrogen sulfide production by the human intestinal bacterium Bilophila wadsworthia

Abstract

Significance: This paper describes a pathway for anaerobic bacterial metabolism of taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonate), an abundant substrate in the human intestinal microbiota, by the intestinal bacterium and opportunistic pathogen, Bilophila wadsworthia . This metabolism converts taurine to the toxic metabolite hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), an activity associated with inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. A critical enzyme in this pathway is isethionate sulfite-lyase, a member of the glycyl radical enzyme family. This enzyme catalyzes a novel, radical-based C-S bond-cleavage reaction to convert isethionate (2-hydroxyethanesulfonate) to sulfite and acetaldehyde. This discovery improves our understanding of H 2 S production in the human body and may also offer new approaches for controlling intestinal H 2 S production and B. wadsworthia infections.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
