Inactivation of human DGAT2 by oxidative stress on cysteine residues
Diacylglycerol acyltransferases (DGATs) have a crucial role in the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol (TG), the major storage form of metabolic energy in eukaryotic organisms. Even though DGAT2, one of two distinct DGATs, has a vital role in TG biosynthesis, little is known about the regulation of DGAT2 activity. In this study, we examined the role of cysteine and its oxidation in the enzymatic ac...
متن کاملResolution of oxidative stress by thioredoxin reductase: Cysteine versus selenocysteine
Thioredoxin reductase (TR) catalyzes the reduction of thioredoxin (TRX), which in turn reduces mammalian typical 2-Cys peroxiredoxins (PRXs 1-4), thiol peroxidases implicated in redox homeostasis and cell signaling. Typical 2-Cys PRXs are inactivated by hyperoxidation of the peroxidatic cysteine to cysteine-sulfinic acid, and regenerated in a two-step process involving retro-reduction by sulfir...
متن کاملConserved actin cysteine residues are oxidative stress sensors that can regulate cell death in yeast.
Actin's functional complexity makes it a likely target of oxidative stress but also places it in a prime position to coordinate the response to oxidative stress. We have previously shown that the NADPH oxidoreductase Oye2p protects the actin cytoskeleton from oxidative stress. Here we demonstrate that the physiological consequence of actin oxidation is to accelerate cell death in yeast. Loss of...

متن کاملOxidative Stress and Human Disease: a Review
Background: The human body needs both types of oxidants (free radicals) and antioxidants for normal metabolism, signal transduction mechanism, and the order of cellular activity. Free radicals can be either harmful or helpful to the body, in fact, they play a dual role as both toxic and beneficial compounds. The human body has the natural antioxidant defense mechanism to counteract the free rad...
