    Cysteine dioxygenase 1 is a metabolic liability for non-small cell lung cancer

    Yun Pyo Kang, Laura Torrente ... Gina M DeNicola
    By increasing intracellular cysteine levels, NRF2 engages a tumor suppressive metabolic pathway mediated by cysteine dioxygenase 1.

    Hypoxia-inducible factor induces cysteine dioxygenase and promotes cysteine homeostasis in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Kurt Warnhoff, Sushila Bhattacharya ... Gary Ruvkun
    Cysteine dioxygenase, a conserved and critical enzyme in sulfur amino acid metabolism, is activated by the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor.

    Divergent downstream biosynthetic pathways are supported by L-cysteine synthases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

    Mehak Zahoor Khan, Debbie M Hunt ... Vinay Kumar Nandicoori
    CysM and CysK2 play complementary and overlapping roles in Mtb's adaptation to environmental stress that are crucial for survival.

    Structure and function of the ROR2 cysteine-rich domain in vertebrate noncanonical WNT5A signaling

    Samuel C Griffiths, Jia Tan ... Hsin-Yi Henry Ho
    Structure-function analysis of the ROR2 cysteine-rich domain reveals a new mechanism of WNT5A reception at the cell surface and provides new insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of Robinow syndrome-driving ROR2 mutations.

    Exploring structural dynamics of a membrane protein by combining bioorthogonal chemistry and cysteine mutagenesis

    Kanchan Gupta, Gilman ES Toombes, Kenton J Swartz
    A facile method is implemented to modify membrane proteins with biophysical reporters using cysteine-independent approaches in live cells.

    Pharmacological inhibition of cystine–glutamate exchange induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and ferroptosis

    Scott J Dixon, Darpan N Patel ... Brent R Stockwell
    Erastin and sorafenib inhibit system xc- and induce ER stress, suggesting these may be useful tools for probing the functions of system xc- and its role in inducing ER stress and ferroptosis.

    Environmental cystine drives glutamine anaplerosis and sensitizes cancer cells to glutaminase inhibition

    Alexander Muir, Laura V Danai ... Matthew G Vander Heiden
    Cell culture models widely used in cancer research do not reflect metabolism in tumors; by altering culture systems to better model tumor metabolism we find that environmental cystine promotes tumor glutamine metabolism.

    Chemical genetics and proteome-wide site mapping reveal cysteine MARylation by PARP-7 on immune-relevant protein targets

    Kelsie M Rodriguez, Sara C Buch-Larsen ... Michael S Cohen
    A combined chemical genetics, proximity labeling, and ADP-ribose site mapping approach shows that PARP-7 mono-ADP-ribosylates immune-relevant proteins on cysteine amino acids.

    Structure and function of the Smoothened extracellular domain in vertebrate Hedgehog signaling

    Sigrid Nachtergaele, Daniel M Whalen ... Rajat Rohatgi
    A cysteine-rich domain within the Smoothened receptor may represent a novel therapeutic target for cancers caused by abnormal functioning of the Hedgehog signaling pathway.

    Structure and functional properties of Norrin mimic Wnt for signalling with Frizzled4, Lrp5/6, and proteoglycan

    Tao-Hsin Chang, Fu-Lien Hsieh ... E Yvonne Jones
    The crystal structure of Norrie Disease Protein in complex with the extracellular cysteine-rich domain of Frizzled4 receptor and sucrose octasulfate reveals binding sites for Frizzled4, low density lipoprotein receptor related protein 5/6, and proteoglycan.
