Regulation of protein tyrosine phosphatases by reversible oxidation

TLDR
The role of PTP oxidation for physiological signalling processes as well as in different pathologies is described on the basis of well-investigated examples and criteria to establish the causal involvement of P TP oxidation in a given process are proposed.
Abstract
Oxidation of the catalytic cysteine of protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTP), which leads to their reversible inactivation, has emerged as an important regulatory mechanism linking cellular tyrosine phosphorylation and signalling by reactive-oxygen or -nitrogen species (ROS, RNS). This review focuses on recent findings about the involved pathways, enzymes and biochemical mechanisms. Both the general cellular redox state and extracellular ligand-stimulated ROS production can cause PTP oxidation. Members of the PTP family differ in their intrinsic susceptibility to oxidation, and different types of oxidative modification of the PTP catalytic cysteine can occur. The role of PTP oxidation for physiological signalling processes as well as in different pathologies is described on the basis of well-investigated examples. Criteria to establish the causal involvement of PTP oxidation in a given process are proposed. A better understanding of mechanisms leading to selective PTP oxidation in a cellular context, and finding ways to pharmacologically modulate these pathways are important topics for future research.

Redox regulation of protein tyrosine phosphatases: methods for kinetic analysis of covalent enzyme inactivation.

TL;DR: In this article, methods for quantitative analysis of covalent inactivation of protein tyrosine phosphatases by small molecules are discussed. But, the authors do not consider the effects of small molecules on the protein itself.

NADPH oxidase 5 (NOX5)-induced reactive oxygen signaling modulates normoxic HIF-1α and p27Kip1 expression in malignant melanoma and other human tumors.

TL;DR: It is suggested that NOX5 expression in human UACC‐257 melanoma cells could contribute to cell proliferation due, in part, to the generation of high local concentrations of extracellular ROS that modulate multiple pathways that regulate HIF‐1α and networks that signal through Akt/GSK3β/p27Kip1.

Acute and long-term effects of arsenite in HepG2 cells: modulation of insulin signaling

TL;DR: Arsenite perturbs cellular signaling pathways involved in fuel metabolism: it impairs cellular responsiveness toward insulin, while at the same time stimulating insulin-like signaling to attenuate the expression of genes involved in glucose metabolism and the release of the hepatokine SelP, which is known to modulate peripheral insulin sensitivity.

Bidentate inhibitors of protein tyrosine phosphatases.

TL;DR: Bidentate inhibitors are small-molecular-weight compounds with the ability to bind to both the active site and a non-conserved secondary phosphate binding site that were initially discovered in protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B, and, hence, most of the bidentate inhibitor reported in this review are PTP1B inhibitors.

Reactive Oxygen Species Promote TNFα-Induced Death and Sustained JNK Activation by Inhibiting MAP Kinase Phosphatases

TL;DR: It is shown that TNFalpha-induced ROS, whose accumulation is suppressed by mitochondrial superoxide dismutase, cause oxidation and inhibition of JNK-inactivating phosphatases by converting their catalytic cysteine to sulfenic acid, which results in sustained JNK activation, which is required for cytochrome c release and caspase 3 cleavage.
