Abstract Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is known to contain an active-site cysteine residue undergoing oxidation in response hydrogen peroxide, leading rapid inactivation of the enzyme. Here we show that human and mouse cells expressing a GAPDH mutant lacking this redox switch retain catalytic activity but are unable stimulate oxidative pentose phosphate pathway enhance their reductive capacity. Specifically, find anchorage-independent growth spheroids limited by elevation...
