Helicobacter pylori possesses two distinct thioredoxin proteins (Trx1 and Trx2) which may play important roles in the ability of this bacterium to survive oxidative stress. Trx1 has previously been shown to be an electron donor in vitro for alkyl-hydroperoxide reductase (AhpC), one of three members of the peroxiredoxin family of antioxidant peroxidases present in H. pylori. In this study, mutan...
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is the causative agent of porcine pleuropneumonia, a disease characterized by pulmonary necrosis and hemorrhage caused in part by neutrophil degranulation. In an effort to understand the pathogenesis of this disease, we have developed an in vivo expression technology (IVET) system to identify genes that are specifically up-regulated during infection. One of the g...
The catalytic properties of cysteine residues Cys46 and Cys165, which form intersubunit disulfide bonds in the peroxidatic AhpC protein of the alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (AhpR) system from Salmonella typhimurium, have been investigated. The AhpR system, composed of AhpC and a flavoprotein reductase, AhpF, catalyzes the pyridine nucleotide-dependent reduction of organic hydroperoxides and hyd...
In this study we report the identification and role of the alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (ahp) gene in Bacteroides fragilis. The two components of ahp, ahpC, and ahpF, are organized in an operon, and the deduced amino acid sequences revealed that B. fragilis AhpCF shares approximately 60% identity to orthologues in other gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Northern blot hybridization anal...
METHODS Spectral and Anaerobic Measurements. All absorbance spectra and anaerobic titrations employed the thermostatted Milton Roy Spectronic 3000 diode array spectrophotometer. The oxidoreductase and DTNB assays were performed on a thermostatted Applied Photophysics DX.17MV stopped-flow spectrofluorometer. The molar extinction coefficients of the proteinbound FAD at 448 or 449 nm were determin...
There is an urgent need for a better understanding of adaptive immunity to Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis that is frequently associated with sepsis or death in patients in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. The imperative to identify vaccine targets is driven both by the public health agenda in these regions and biological threat concerns. In several intracell...
AhpC and AhpF from Salmonella typhimurium undergo a series of electron transfers to catalyze the pyridine nucleotide-dependent reduction of hydroperoxide substrates. AhpC, the peroxide-reducing (peroxiredoxin) component of this alkyl hydroperoxidase system, is an important scavenger of endogenous hydrogen peroxide in bacteria and acts through a reactive, peroxidatic cysteine, Cys46, and a secon...
The anthracenedione antineoplastic agents mitoxantrone and ametantrone are potent inhibitors of basal and drug-stimulated lipid peroxidation in a variety of subcellular systems (Kharasch, E. D., and Novak, R. F. (1983) J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 226, 500-506). The mechanism by which these compounds function as antioxidants has been investigated using enzymic and chemical systems. Mitoxantrone and...
