AB  - Life on Earth emerged in a hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-rich environment eons ago and with it protein persulfidation mediated by H2S evolved as a signaling mechanism. Protein persulfidation (S-sulfhydration) is a post-translational modification of reactive cysteine residues, which modulate protein structure and/or function. Persulfides are difficult to label and study due to their reactivity and similarity with cysteine. Here, we report a facile strategy for chemoselective persulfide bioconjugation using dimedone-based probes, to achieve highly selective, rapid, and robust persulfide labeling in biological samples with broad utility. Using this method, we show persulfidation is an evolutionarily conserved modification and waves of persulfidation are employed by cells to resolve sulfenylation and prevent irreversible cysteine overoxidation preserving protein function. We report an age-associated decline in persulfidation that is conserved across evolutionary boundaries. Accordingly, dietary or pharmacological interventions to increase persulfidation associate with increased longevity and improved capacity to cope with stress stimuli.

AB  - For couple of decades aging is believed to be a consequence of damages accumulated by increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Opposite to that, dietary restriction attempts to extend life have been linked to increased H2S production. We hypothesized that reacting with sulfenic acids (formed by ROS) H2S would rescue cysteine residue by forming persulfides. Persulfides are better ROS scavengers and could form protein S-sulfonates that could be cleaved back by disulfide reductase to restore free thiolate. This rescue loop would thus prevent irreversible thiol hyperoxidation. Using dimedone switch method we could first show that persulfidation is a posttranslational modification that is evolutionarily conserved (bacteria, flies, worms, mice and humans). Then we could also observe that thioredoxin readily catalyzes the reduction of cysteine S-sulfonate, two orders of magnitude faster than the reduction of corresponding disulfide. The persulfidation levels/H2S producing ability positively correlated with the ability of yeast, worms and mammalian cells to resist stress caused by ROS. Persulfidation declines with aging in worms, rats and mice, due to the downregulation of H2S producing enzymes, but dietary restriction in mice and worms restores persulfide levels and improves their lifespan. Based on these data we suggest that persulfidation represents an evolutionarily conserved anti-aging mechanism.

AB  - An oxidative-posttranslational modification of thiols called protein persulfidation
(RSSH) represents the underlying mechanism of biological actions ascribed to new gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S). We developed a new dimedone based method for detection of protein persulfidation and its selectivity was tested and confirmed in various experimental models (D. melanogaster, C. elegans, M. musculus. human cell lines and samples). Obtained results demonstrated that persulfidation represents an evolutionary conserved modification that correlates to the H2S production capacity and is accompanied with numerous physiological implications. One of such general observations is that persulfidation represents protective mechanism for the reduction of sulfenic acids under conditions of oxidative stress. When C. elegans mutants for CSE and MST were exposed to different oxidative stress inducers they showed enhanced sensitivity, while pretreatment with H2S donors rescued them. Additionally, we observed a strong correlation between protein persulfidation levels and development and aging in different experimental models. Fluctuations in the level of persultides were observed during development of C. elegans with prominent increase in L3 larval stage. Our data showed that after strong peak in L3, persulfide levels decreases during life in C. elegans. Decline of persulfide levels in the adult worms of different age was also observed. Similar effect was discovered in the brains of rats of different age. Immunobistological analysis of brain sections for H2S producing enzymes revealed the decrease in intensity of immunopositivity during aging process. Our results strongly propose protein persullidation represents a rescue loop from cysteine hyper-oxidation and subsequent loss of protein function. This general mechanism represents a promising tool in overcoming the consequences of increased oxidative stress during aging process.
