Multiple functions of thioredoxins.

چکیده
Reduced thioredoxins from microbial and plant cells, both of cytoplasmic or chloroplast origin, are interchangeable in stimulating such diverse enzyme activities as ribonucleoside diphosphate reductase (E. coli), PAPS sulfotransferase (Synechococcus), and fructose-1,6-bis-phosphatase (from spinach) in vitro. It is suggested that reduced thioredoxins are unspecific, multifunctional cellular proteins while in contrast the oxidized froms require specific enzymes for their reduction.

Two essential Thioredoxins mediate apicoplast biogenesis, protein import, and gene expression in Toxoplasma gondii
Apicomplexan parasites are global killers, being the causative agents of diseases like toxoplasmosis and malaria. These parasites are known to be hypersensitive to redox imbalance, yet little is understood about the cellular roles of their various redox regulators. The apicoplast, an essential plastid organelle, is a verified apicomplexan drug target. Nuclear-encoded apicoplast proteins traffic...
متن کاملThe thioredoxin h system of higher plants.
In plants, thioredoxins h are encoded by a multigenic family of genes (eight in Arabidopsis thaliana, at least five in Populus sp.). The multiplicity of these isoforms raises the question of their specificity. This review focuses on thioredoxins h in two plant models: Arabidopsis and poplar. Thioredoxins h can be divided into three different subgroups according to the analysis of their primary ...
متن کاملExpression of the trxC gene of Rhodobacter capsulatus: response to cellular redox status is mediated by the transcriptional regulator OxyR.
Despite the importance of thioredoxins in cellular functions, little is known about the regulation of trx genes. To understand the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of the Rhodobacter capsulatus trxC gene, the expression of this gene was investigated. We describe OxyR-dependent redox regulation of the trxC gene that adjusts the levels of thioredoxins in the cell.
متن کاملIn vivo functional discrimination between plant thioredoxins by heterologous expression in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Whereas vertebrates possess only two thioredoxin genes, higher plants present a much greater diversity of thioredoxins. For example, Arabidopsis thaliana has five cytoplasmic thioredoxins (type h) and at least as many chloroplastic thioredoxins. The abundance of plant thioredoxins leads to the question whether the various plant thioredoxins play a similar role or have specific functions. Becaus...
