Thioredoxin, glutaredoxin, and thioredoxin reductase from cultured HeLa cells.

Thioredoxin and glutaredoxin systems.

Cloning of thioredoxin h reductase and characterization of the thioredoxin reductase-thioredoxin h system from wheat.

Thioredoxins h are ubiquitous proteins reduced by NADPH- thioredoxin reductase (NTR). They are able to reduce disulphides in target proteins. In monocots, thioredoxins h accumulate at high level in seeds and show a predominant localization in the nucleus of seed cells. These results suggest that the NTR-thioredoxin h system probably plays an important role in seed physiology. To date, the study...

Heparin-binding properties of selenium-containing thioredoxin reductase from HeLa cells and human lung adenocarcinoma cells.

Mammalian selenocysteine-containing thioredoxin reductase (TR) isolated from HeLa cells and from human lung adenocarcinoma cells was separated into two major enzyme species by heparin-agarose affinity chromatography. The low-affinity enzyme forms that were not retained on heparin agarose showed strong crossreactivity in immunoblot assays with anti-rat liver TR polyclonal antibodies, whereas the...

NADPH-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...

Chaperone properties of Escherichia coli thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase.

Thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase and NADPH form the thioredoxin system and are the major cellular protein disulphide reductase. We report here that Escherichia coli thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase interact with unfolded and denatured proteins, in a manner similar to that of molecular chaperones that are involved in protein folding and protein renaturation after stress. Thioredoxin and/o...
