Cytotoxic stress activates stress-activated kinases, initiates adaptive mechanisms, including the unfolded protein response (UPR) and autophagy, and induces programmed cell death. Fatty acid unsaturation, controlled by stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD)1, prevents cytotoxic stress but the mechanisms are diffuse. We found that SCD1 inhibition alters the levels of proteins phosphorylated at tyrosine in fibroblasts. Major regulated proteins were identified following immunoprecipitation using an anti-phospho-tyrosine antibody and subsequent proteomic analysis.
