TIA1 oxidation inhibits stress granule assembly and sensitizes cells to stress-induced apoptosis

Cytoplasmic stress granules (SG) are intracellular aggregates that suppress translation and sequester apoptosis regulatory factors. Here the authors show that reactive oxygen species oxidise the SG-nucleating protein TIA1, preventing SG formation and promoting apoptosis in the presence of additional...
