In the canonical pathway for mitochondrial H2S oxidation electrons are transferred from sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase (SQR) to complex III via ubiquinone (CoQ(10)). We previously observed that a number of quinones directly oxidize H2S and we hypothesize that CoQ(10) may have similar properties. Here we examine H2S oxidation by CoQ(10) and more hydrophilic, truncated forms, CoQ(1) and CoQ(0), in buffer using H2S and polysulfide fluorophores (AzMC and SSP4), silver nanoparticles to measure thiosulfate (H2S2O3), mass spectrometry to identify polysulfides and O-2-sensitive optodes to measure O-2 consumption. We show that all three quinones concentration-dependently catalyze the oxidization of H2S to polysulfides and thiosulfate in buffer with the potency CoQ(0)> CoQ(1)> CoQ(10) and that CoQ(0) specifically oxidizes H2S to per-polysulfides, H2S2,3,4. These re-actions consume and require oxygen and are augmented by addition of SOD suggesting that the quinones, not superoxide, oxidize H2S. Related quinones, MitoQ, menadione and idebenone, oxidize H2S in similar reactions. Exogenous CoQ(0) decreases cellular H2S and increases polysulfides and thiosulfate production and this is also O-2- dependent, suggesting that the quinone has similar effects on sulfur metabolism in cells. Collectively, these results suggest an additional endogenous mechanism for H2S metabolism and a potential therapeutic approach in H2S-related metabolic disorders.
