Effects of sulfhydration

Protein Residues Sulfhydrated Effect on Function Reference
Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) C150 Increases catalytic activity. In brain, increases association with the E3 ubiquitin ligase, Siah1 and targets PSD95 for degradation. 25,73
β-Actin Not determined Increased actin polymerization 25
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) C215 Reduces phosphatase activity 10
Kir6.1 subunit of KATP C43 Activates channel activity by enhancing its interaction with PIP2 45
IKCa Not determined Activates channel 45
p65 subunit of NF-κB C38 Promotes its interaction with the coactivator protein, ribosomal protein S3 (Rps3) 6
Parkin C59, C95, C182 Enhances its E3 ubiquitin ligase activity 69
Keap1 C151 Promotes dissociation from the transcription factor Nrf2 and releases it from sequestration 64
MEK1 C341 Facilitates PARP activation 82
Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase C111 Prevents oxidation induced aggregation 83
p66Shc C59 Prevents H2O2-induced phosphorylation and generation of ROS 84
Androgen receptor C611, C614 Prevents dimerization of the receptor 85
TRPV6 C172, C329 Maintains calcium homeostasis in bone marrow stem cells 86
PTEN C71, C124 Maintains enzyme activity. Prevents further oxidation by nitric oxide 32
Interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) C53 Enhances the binding of the transcription factor (IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN?) to the DNA methyl transferase 3A (DNMT3A) promoter to reduce methylation of target genes such as TFAM, a mitochondrial transcription factor, which is involved in mitochondrial biogenesis. 55
