1-cysteine Peroxiredoxin: a Less Studied Member of Peroxiredoxin in Plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
1-Cysteine Peroxiredoxin (1Cys Prx) is a thiol dependent antioxidative enzyme of molecular weight 20-30 kDa. It contains one catalytic cysteine residue and is found in cytosol. Prx plays an important role in growth, development and dessication tolerance in dormant seeds. It detoxifies H2O2 and various other organic peroxides. It protects lipids, enzymes and DNA against reactive oxygen species. This review highlights our current understanding of 1Cys Prx with focus on its expression in seeds and transgenic plants.

Crystal structure of a dimeric oxidized form of human peroxiredoxin 5.
Peroxiredoxin 5 is the last discovered mammalian member of an ubiquitous family of peroxidases widely distributed among prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Mammalian peroxiredoxin 5 has been recently classified as an atypical 2-Cys peroxiredoxin due to the presence of a conserved peroxidatic N-terminal cysteine (Cys47) and an unconserved resolving C-terminal cysteine residue (Cys151) forming an intramo...
متن کاملInduction of 1-cys peroxiredoxin expression by oxidative stress in lung epithelial cells.
1-Cys peroxiredoxin (1-cysPrx), a member of the peroxiredoxin family that contains a single conserved cysteine residue, reduces a broad spectrum of hydroperoxides. We studied changes in 1-cysPrx expression in rat lungs and lung cell lines in response to oxidative stress due to hyperoxia, H2O2, or paraquat. After 60 h of hyperoxia (>95% O2), mRNA and protein levels of 1-cysPrx and peroxidase act...
متن کاملDiscovery of Fragment Molecules That Bind the Human Peroxiredoxin 5 Active Site
The search for protein ligands is a crucial step in the inhibitor design process. Fragment screening represents an interesting method to rapidly find lead molecules, as it enables the exploration of a larger portion of the chemical space with a smaller number of compounds as compared to screening based on drug-sized molecules. Moreover, fragment screening usually leads to hit molecules that for...
متن کاملCloning and Characterization of a 2-Cys Peroxiredoxin in the Pine Wood Nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, a Putative Genetic Factor Facilitating the Infestation
The pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is an invasive plant parasitic nematode and a worldwide quarantine pest. An indigenous species in North America and the causal agent of pine wilt disease, B. xylophilus has devastated pine production in Southeastern Asia including Japan, China, and Korea since its initial introduction in the early 1900s. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) is th...
متن کاملReversible oxidation of mitochondrial peroxiredoxin 3 in mouse heart subjected to ischemia and reperfusion.
Peroxiredoxins decompose peroxides through reversible oxidation of their active site cysteines. The redox state of the 2-Cys peroxiredoxins, 1, 2 and 3, was investigated in mouse hearts undergoing ischemia and reperfusion in a Langendorff system. The peroxiredoxins were predominantly reduced in control hearts. Mitochondrial peroxiredoxin 3 underwent significant oxidation to its disulfide-linked...
