Title:
The oxidative stress-inducible cystine/glutamate antiporter, system x c − : cystine supplier and beyond | Amino Acids
Description:
The oxidative stress-inducible cystine/glutamate exchange system, system x c − , transports one molecule of cystine, the oxidized form of cysteine, into cells and thereby releases one molecule of glutamate into the extracellular space. It consists of two protein components, the 4F2 heavy chain, necessary for membrane location of the heterodimer, and the xCT protein, responsible for transport activity. Previously, system x c − has been regarded to be a mere supplier of cysteine to cells for the synthesis of proteins and the antioxidant glutathione (GSH). In that sense, oxygen, electrophilic agents, and bacterial lipopolysaccharide trigger xCT expression to accommodate with increased oxidative stress by stimulating GSH biosynthesis. However, emerging evidence established that system x c − may act on its own as a GSH-independent redox system by sustaining a redox cycle over the plasma membrane. Hallmarks of this cycle are cystine uptake, intracellular reduction to cysteine and secretion of the surplus of cysteine into the extracellular space. Consequently, increased levels of extracellular cysteine provide a reducing microenvironment required for proper cell signaling and communication, e.g. as already shown for the mechanism of T cell activation. By contrast, the enhanced release of glutamate in exchange with cystine may trigger neurodegeneration due to glutamate-induced cytotoxic processes. This review aims to provide a comprehensive picture from the early days of system x c − research up to now.

How Does Link.springer.com Make Money? {💸}

We're unsure if the website is profiting.

Not all websites focus on profit; some are designed to educate, connect people, or share useful tools. People create websites for numerous reasons. And this could be one such example. Link.springer.com has a revenue plan, but it's either invisible or we haven't found it.
