Abstract
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases (PTPs) help to maintain the balance of protein phosphorylation signals that drive cell division, proliferation, and differentiation. These enzymes are also well-suited to redox-dependent signaling and oxidative stress response due to their cysteine-based catalytic mechanism, which requires a deprotonated thiol group at the active site. This review focuses on PTP structural characteristics, active site chemical properties, and vulnerability to change by reactive oxygen species (ROS). PTPs can be oxidized and inactivated by H2O2 through three non-exclusive mechanisms. These pathways are dependent on the coordinated actions of other H2O2-sensitive proteins, such as peroxidases like Peroxiredoxins (Prx) and Thioredoxins (Trx). PTPs undergo reversible oxidation by converting their active site cysteine from thiol to sulfenic acid. This sulfenic acid can then react with adjacent cysteines to form disulfide bonds or with nearby amides to form sulfenyl-amide linkages. Further oxidation of the sulfenic acid form to the sulfonic or sulfinic acid forms causes irreversible deactivation. Understanding the structural changes involved in both reversible and irreversible PTP oxidation can help with their chemical manipulation for therapeutic intervention. Nonetheless, more information remains unidentified than is presently known about the precise dynamics of proteins participating in oxidation events, as well as the specific oxidation states that can be targeted for PTPs. This review summarizes current information on PTP-specific oxidation patterns and explains how ROS-mediated signal transmission interacts with phosphorylation-based signaling machinery controlled by growth factor receptors and PTPs.
