Abstract

Both H 2 O 2 and serum starvation activate FOXO transcription factors, but they lead to different FOXO-induced cell outcomes. Here we find a link between the dynamics of FOXO activation and cell fate. H 2 O 2 induces sustained nuclear FOXO, which is linked to cell death, while serum starvation causes pulses of nuclear FOXO and cell-cycle arrest.
