Opi1p translocation to the nucleus is regulated by hydrogen peroxide in Sacchar...
Camelo, Carolina; Vilas-Boas, Filipe; Cepeda, Andreia Pereira; Real, Carla; Barros-Martins, Joana; Pinto, Francisco; Soares, Helena; Marinho, H. SusanaDuring exposure of yeast cells to low levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), the expression of several genes is regulated for cells to adapt to the surrounding oxidative environment. Such adaptation involves modification of plasma membrane lipid composition, reorganization of ergosterol-rich microdomains and altered gene expression of proteins involved in lipid and vesicle traffic, to decrease permeability to ex...
Hydrogen peroxide sensing, signaling and regulation of transcription factors
Marinho, H. Susana; Real, Carla; Cyrne, Luísa; Soares, Helena; Antunes, FernandoThe regulatory mechanisms by which hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) modulates the activity of transcription factors in bacteria (OxyR and PerR), lower eukaryotes (Yap1, Maf1, Hsf1 and Msn2/4) and mammalian cells (AP-1, NRF2, CREB, HSF1, HIF-1, TP53, NF-κB, NOTCH, SP1 and SCREB-1) are reviewed. The complexity of regulatory networks increases throughout the phylogenetic tree, reaching a high level of complexity in mammal...
Cellular polarity in aging: role of redox regulation and nutrition
Soares, Helena; Marinho, H. Susana; Real, Carla; Antunes, FernandoCellular polarity concerns the spatial asymmetric organization of cellular components and structures. Such organization is important not only for biological behavior at the individual cell level, but also for the 3D organization of tissues and organs in living organisms. Processes like cell migration and motility, asymmetric inheritance, and spatial organization of daughter cells in tissues are all dependent of...
