This relationship can be rationalized by the similar chemical mechanism, involving an aromatic nucleophilic attack by the sulfur of glutathione to form a Meisenheimer -complex, which is followed by the release of the common conjugate S-2,4-dinitrophenylglutathione
Akt is deactivated and Bcl-2-associated death promoter (BAD) phosphorylation is lost in one pathway due to a stalled survival pathway, whereas Fas cell surface death receptor (FAS) is upregulated through stimulation of c-Jun-N-terminal kinase, which activates caspase-8, phosphorylates Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD), and truncates BH3-interacting domain death agonist (BID)
