- BMP-1 disrupts cell adhesion and enhances TGF-β activation through cleavage of the matricellular protein thrombospondin-1
BMP-1–mediated cleavage of TSP-1 reduces cell adhesion and promotes TGF-β signaling.
- Aurora A regulation by reversible cysteine oxidation reveals evolutionarily conserved redox control of Ser/Thr protein kinase activity
The catalytic activity of multiple Ser/Thr kinases is regulated through a conserved Cys-based redox mechanism.
- A redox-active switch in fructosamine-3-kinases expands the regulatory repertoire of the protein kinase superfamily
Evolutionarily conserved cysteine residues mediate the sensitivity of the metabolic kinase FN3K to shifts in redox status.
