Abstract

We have identified a molecular interaction between the reversibly oxidized form of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and 14-3-3ζ that regulates PTP1B activity. Destabilizing the transient interaction between 14-3-3ζ and PTP1B prevented PTP1B inactivation by reactive oxygen species and decreased epidermal growth factor receptor phosphorylation. Our data suggest that destabilizing the interaction between 14-3-3ζ and the reversibly oxidized and inactive form of PTP1B may establish a path to PTP1B activation in cells.
