Gene enrichment in the cysteine and methionine catabolism, sulfate metabolism, and disulfide oxidoreductase activity in the cecum of broiler chickens. Genes over-expressed in the cecum with respect to the jejunum are shown in a red color (FDR >2, except SQOR (sulfide quinone reductase) at least = 1.8). The alternative sulfate-generating pathway controlled by cysteine dioxygenase type 1 (CDO1) is not represented, because the gene coding this enzyme was mildly expressed, with values not differing to jejunum mucosa. CBS = cystathionine β-synthase; CTH = cystathionine γ-lyase; SQOR = sulfide quinone reductase; TST = thiosulfate sulfurtransferase; SUOX = sulfite oxidase (not spotted on chicken microarrays); APS = 5’ adenosine-phosphosulfate; PAPS = 3’-phosphoadenosine 5’-phosphosulfate; PAPSS2 = PAPS synthetase; SULT1E1 and SULT1C3 sulfotransferase, family 1C member 3 and family 1E member 1; GOT2 = glutamic–oxaloacetic transaminase 2; 3-MPY = 3-mercaptopyruvate; MPST = 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase; PY = pyruvate; TXN = thioredoxin.
