Peroxiredoxin 2 and peroxidase enzymatic activity of mammalian spermatozoa.
Peroxiredoxin 2 (PRDX2) is a highly efficient redox protein that neutralizes hydrogen peroxide, resulting in protection of cells from oxidative damage and in regulation of peroxide-mediated signal transduction events. The oxidized form of PRDX2 is reverted back to the reduced form by the thioredoxin system. In the present study, we investigated the presence of PRDX2 in mouse and boar spermatozo...

Structural insights into the peroxidase activity and inactivation of human peroxiredoxin 4.
Prx4 (peroxiredoxin 4) is the only peroxiredoxin located in the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) and a proposed scavenger for H2O2. In the present study, we solved crystal structures of human Prx4 in three different redox forms and characterized the reaction features of Prx4 with H2O2. Prx4 exhibits a toroid-shaped decamer constructed of five catalytic dimers. Structural analysis revealed conformatio...
متن کاملAnalysis of the link between enzymatic activity and oligomeric state in AhpC, a bacterial peroxiredoxin.
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) make up a ubiquitous class (proposed EC 1.11.1.15) of cysteine-dependent peroxidases with roles in oxidant protection and signal transduction. An intriguing biophysical property of typical 2-Cys Prxs is the redox-dependent modulation of their oligomeric state between decamers and dimers at physiological concentrations. The functional consequences of this linkage are unknow...
متن کاملMeasurement of peroxiredoxin activity.
Peroxiredoxins are cysteine-dependent peroxidases that react with hydrogen peroxide, larger hydroperoxide substrates, and peroxynitrite. Protocols are provided to measure Prx activity with peroxide by (1) a coupled reaction with NADPH, thioredoxin reductase, and thioredoxin, (2) the direct monitoring of thioredoxin oxidation, (3) competition with horseradish peroxidase, and (4) peroxide consump...
