Structure of Hordeum vulgare NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase 2. Unwinding the reaction mechanism
Thioredoxins (Trxs) are protein disulfide reductases that regulate the intracellular redox environment and are important for seed germination in plants. Trxs are in turn regulated by NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductases (NTRs), which provide reducing equivalents to Trx using NADPH to recycle Trxs to the active form. Here, the first crystal structure of a cereal NTR, HvNTR2 from Hordeum vulgar...
متن کاملNADPH-Dependent Thioredoxin Reductase and a New Thioredoxin from Wheat
An albumin fraction extracted from wheat flour contains thioredoxin reductase (Mr = 65,000) and a heat-stable thioredoxin (Mr = 15,000) which are separated on DEAE cellulose and further purified by gel filtration. W heat thioredoxin stimulates E. coli ribonucleotide reductase but not chloroplast fructose-bis-phosphatase. The enzyme is NADPH-dependent (Km = 3.2 X 10 -6 m) . In presence of the th...
متن کاملG33D mutant thioredoxin primarily affects the kinetics of reaction with thioredoxin reductase. Probing the structure of the mutant protein.
Escherichia coli thioredoxin is a redox-active protein. A mutant protein with an aspartic acid substitution for the largely conserved glycine at position 33 (G33D) in the active site of thioredoxin has been generated to study the effects of a negatively charged residue in the active site of the protein. Despite the close proximity of the negative-charged Asp to the redox active cysteines, the e...
متن کاملCrystal structures of oxidized and reduced mitochondrial thioredoxin reductase provide molecular details of the reaction mechanism.
Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) is an essential enzyme required for the efficient maintenance of the cellular redox homeostasis, particularly in cancer cells that are sensitive to reactive oxygen species. In mammals, distinct isozymes function in the cytosol and mitochondria. Through an intricate mechanism, these enzymes transfer reducing equivalents from NADPH to bound FAD and subsequently to an ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional structure of a mammalian thioredoxin reductase: implications for mechanism and evolution of a selenocysteine-dependent enzyme.
Thioredoxin reductases (TrxRs) from mammalian cells contain an essential selenocysteine residue in the conserved C-terminal sequence Gly-Cys-SeCys-Gly forming a selenenylsulfide in the oxidized enzyme. Reduction by NADPH generates a selenolthiol, which is the active site in reduction of Trx. The three-dimensional structure of the SeCys498Cys mutant of rat TrxR in complex with NADP(+) has been d...
