Specific and Reversible Inactivation of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases by Hydrogen Peroxide: Evidence for a Sulfenic Acid Intermediate and Implications for Redox Regulation
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphotyrosine from specific signal-transducing proteins. Although regulatory mechanisms for protein kinases hav...
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)-induced Generation of Hydrogen Peroxide
Recent evidence indicates that reactive oxygen species (ROS) may function as intracellular messengers in receptor signaling pathways. The possible role of ROS in epidermal growt...
Signal transduction by reactive oxygen species
Although historically viewed as purely harmful, recent evidence suggests that reactive oxygen species (ROS) function as important physiological regulators of intracellular signa...
Free Radicals in the Physiological Control of Cell Function
At high concentrations, free radicals and radical-derived, nonradical reactive species are hazardous for living organisms and damage all major cellular constituents. At moderate...
The Role of Oxidative Stress in Carcinogenesis
Chemical carcinogenesis follows a multistep process involving both mutation and increased cell proliferation. Oxidative stress can occur through overproduction of reactive oxyge...
