Abstract excerpt
In this study we investigated the molecular mechanism by which the Orp1 (Gpx3) protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae senses and reacts with hydrogen peroxide. Upon exposure to H(2)O(2) Orp1(Cys36) forms a disulfide-bonded complex with the C-terminal domain of the Yap1 protein (Yap1-cCRD). We used 4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole to identify a cysteine sulfenic acid (Cys-SOH) modification that forms on Cys(36) of...
