Inactivation of protein tyrosine phosphatases by dietary isothiocyanates.
2015
Abstract Isothiocyanates are bioactive dietary phytochemicals that react readily with protein thiol groups. We find that isothiocyanates are time-dependent inactivators of cysteine-dependent protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). Rate constants for the inactivation of PTP1B and SHP-2 by allyl isothiocyanate and sulforaphane range from 2 to 16 M −1 s −1 . Results in the context of PTP1B are consistent with a mechanism involving covalent, yet reversible, modification of the enzyme’s active site cysteine residue.
