In the cardiovascular system, changes in the oxidative balance can affect many aspects of cellular physiology through redox-signaling. Depending on the magnitude, fluctuations in the cell's production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species can regulate normal metabolic processes, activate protective mechanisms, or be cytotoxic. Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species can have many effects including the post-translational modification of proteins at critical cysteine (Cys) thiols. A subset can act as redox-switches, which elicit functional effects in response to changes in oxidative state. While the general concepts of redox-signaling have been established, the identity and function of many regulatory switches remains unclear. Characterizing the effects of individual modifications is the key to understanding how the cell interprets oxidative signals under physiological and pathological conditions. Here, we review the various Cys oxidative post-translational modifications (Ox-PTMs) and their ability to function as redox-switches that regulate the cell's response to oxidative stimuli. In addition, we discuss how these modifications have the potential to influence other post-translational modifications' signaling pathways though cross-talk. Finally, we review the growing number of tools being developed to identify and quantify the various Cys Ox-PTMs and how this will advance our understanding of redox-regulation.
