REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES CONTROL SHP-2 DIMERIZATION AND ACTIVITY
SHP-2 dimerization is stabilized by the formation of disulfide bonds and it is modulated by growth factors and by the cellular redox state. Notably, the dimeric form is less active compared to its the monomeric self-inhibited counterpart pointing to dimerization as an additional mechanism to control SHP-2 activity.
