Reversible Glutathionylation of Complex I Increases Mitochondrial Superoxide Formation

Increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by mitochondria is involved in oxidative damage to the organelle and in committing cells to apoptosis or senescence, but the mechanisms of this increase are unknown. Here we show that ROS production by mitochondrial complex I increases in response to oxidation of the mitochondrial the and of complex I of complex I increases production by the and the are production to mitochondria oxidation of the to to of complex this of this is to the of mitochondrial ROS production mitochondria and oxidation of the mitochondrial to the that to mitochondria oxidative Increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by mitochondria is involved in oxidative damage to the organelle and in committing cells to apoptosis or senescence, but the mechanisms of this increase are unknown.
