Transcription factor YcjW controls the emergency H2S production in E. coli

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) production in Escherichia coli is controlled by the sulfurtransferase 3MST. Here, the authors describe an alternative mechanism for H2S biosynthesis via activation of the thiosulfate sulfurtransferase PspE, a process mediated by the transcription factor YcjW.
