Oxidative stress, manifested through accumulation of reactive oxygen species in the cell, is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. Based on mouse model studies, CDK5, aberrantly activated by binding to p25, phosphorylates the peroxide reductase PRDX1 on a conserved threonine residue T90, thus inactivating it and contributing to ROS accumulation (Sun et al. 2008).
