Understanding the role of cysteine in ferroptosis: progress & paradoxes

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, 2021
Cysteine is a conditionally essential amino acid required for the synthesis of proteins and many important intracellular metabolites. Cysteine depletion can trigger iron‐dependent nonapoptotic cell death–ferroptosis.

Cysteine depletion induces pancreatic tumor ferroptosis in mice

open access: yesScience, 2020
Ferroptotic cell death and cancer Cell death can occur through different mechanisms, several of which are being explored as potential targets for cancer treatment.

Non-canonical glutamate-cysteine ligase activity protects against ferroptosis

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2020
Cysteine is required for maintaining cellular redox homeostasis in both normal and transformed cells. Deprivation of cysteine induces the iron-dependent form of cell death known as ferroptosis; however, the metabolic consequences of cysteine starvation ...

Cysteine and homocysteine as biomarker of various diseases

open access: yesFood Science & Nutrition, 2020
Cysteine and homocysteine (Hcy), both sulfur‐containing amino acids (AAs), produced from methionine another sulfur‐containing amino acid, which is converted to Hcy and further converted to cysteine.

Glutenin and Gliadin, a Piece in the Puzzle of their Structural Properties in the Cell Described through Monte Carlo Simulations

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Gluten protein crosslinking is a predetermined process where specific intra- and intermolecular disulfide bonds differ depending on the protein and cysteine motif. In this article, all-atom Monte Carlo simulations were used to understand the formation of

Sorption performance of cysteine-modified bentonite in heavy metals uptake [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2009
A local clay, bentonite (N-Ben), was modified by the biologically-based ligand, cysteine (Cys), through a simple sorption technique. The modified sorbent (Cys-Ben) demonstrated affinity for soft and moderately soft heavy metal ions (HMI), such as Cd(II ...

Cysteine metabolic circuitries: druggable targets in cancer

open access: yesBritish Journal of Cancer, 2020
To enable survival in adverse conditions, cancer cells undergo global metabolic adaptations. The amino acid cysteine actively contributes to cancer metabolic remodelling on three different levels: first, in its free form, in redox control, as a component
