“…More particularly, the oxidation of thiol functions and cysteine residues, which is an important mechanism regulating protein structure, was reported on proteins described to be involved in the formation of the pore or in the regulation of its opening, such as ANT (Costantini et al., 2000; Halestrap, Woodfield, & Connern, 1997), CypD (Nguyen et al., 2011), ATP synthase (Wang, Murray, Chung, & Van Eyk, 2013), or complex I of the respiratory chain (Chouchani et al., 2013). As both glutathione and cysteine systems become oxidized during aging (Go & Jones, 2017), this can contribute to mPTP opening.…”
