Microtubule
Background Microtubules have been one of the most effective targets for the development of anticancer agents. Cancer cells treated by these agents are characterized by cell arrest at G2/M phase.

Microbial Oxidative Stress in Food Fermentations: A Comprehensive Review
Oxidative stress has a dual role in food fermentations: low ROS supports adaptive signaling, whereas excessive ROS causes cellular damage and process inhibition. Managing redox state as a controllable process variable can improve fermentation robustness and final food quality.

S-Glutathionylation and Redox Protein Signaling in Drug Addiction [PDF]
Drug addiction is a chronic relapsing disorder that comes at a high cost to individuals and society. Therefore understanding the mechanisms by which drugs exert their effects is of prime importance. Drugs of abuse increase the production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species resulting in oxidative stress.

Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-κB) is a transcription factor family critical in the activation of pro- inflammatory responses. The NF-κB pathway is regulated by oxidant-induced post-translational modifications. Protein S-glutathionylation, or the conjugation

Glutathionyl Hemoglobin and Its Emerging Role as a Clinical Biomarker of Chronic Oxidative Stress
Hemoglobin is one of the proteins that are more susceptible to S-glutathionylation and the levels of its modified form, glutathionyl hemoglobin (HbSSG), increase in several human pathological conditions.

ABSTRACT Glutathione, including reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG), is the major non‐protein thiol‐based redox buffer. There are diurnal rhythms in total glutathione level and in this work, we investigate whether these oscillations might be indicative of circadian regulation of total glutathione homeostasis.

Origin of Elevated S-Glutathionylated GAPDH in Chronic Neurodegenerative Diseases
H2O2-oxidized glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) catalytic cysteine residues (Cc(SH) undergo rapid S-glutathionylation. Restoration of the enzyme activity is accomplished by thiol/disulfide SN2 displacement (directly or enzymatically) forming glutathione disulfide (G(SS)G) and active enzyme, a process that should be facile as Cc(SH ...

Cysteine Glutathionylation Acts as a Redox Switch in Endothelial Cells
Oxidative post-translational modifications (oxPTM) of receptors, enzymes, ion channels and transcription factors play an important role in cell signaling.

Protein-S-glutathionylation is a post-translational modification involving the conjugation of glutathione to protein thiols, which can modulate the activity and structure of key cellular proteins.

ABSTRACT Macrophage metabolism has been increasingly studied in recent years for its potential as a therapeutic target across multiple pathologies. In this article, we propose that the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzyme alpha‐ketoglutarate (KG) dehydrogenase (KGDH) serves as a nexus for regulating macrophage polarization toward pro‐inflammatory (M1)
