A redox cycle with complex II promotes sulfide quinone oxidoreductase dependent H2S oxidation

Abstract: The dual role of H2S as an endogenously synthesized respiratory substrate and as a toxin, raise questions as to how it is cleared when the electron transport chain is inhibited. Sulfide quinone oxidoreductase (SQOR) is a mitochondrial inner membrane flavoprotein that catalyzes the first step in the H2S oxidation pathway and uses coenzyme Q (CoQ) as an electron acceptor. However, complex IV poisoning by H2S inhibits complex III-dependent recycling of CoQH2, which is needed to sustain H2S oxidation. We have disc… Show more

“…However, at physiologic levels, H 2 S elevates oxygen consumption rates and electron flow through ETC via SQR [ 16 ]. Recent evidence challenges the conventional view that H 2 S only exerts toxic effects in cells; in these conditions where the electron transport chain is obstructed, high levels of H 2 S can continue to undergo oxidation by SQR, leading to a redox cycle with fumarate as the terminal electron acceptor at complex II [ 78 ].…”

“…H 2 S attacks the disulfide bond in SQR, generating a persulfide charge transfer complex. This outer sulfane sulfur is moved to a thiophilic acceptor, such as GSH, safeguarding ETC function from H 2 S [ 75 , 78 , 103 ]. H 2 S orchestrates regulatory pathways in cellular bioenergetics, modulating mitochondrial energy production and promoting glycolysis.…”
