A role for annexin A2 in scaffolding the peroxiredoxin 2–STAT3 redox relay complex

Abstract

Peroxiredoxin 2 (Prx2) was previously shown to transfer H2O2-derived oxidative equivalents to STAT3, generating disulfide-linked dimers and tetramers. Here the authors show that the interaction between Prx2 and STAT3 at the plasma membrane is mediated by the membrane chaperone annexin A2; suggesting that the redox relay complex is part of a membrane signaling domain.
