Peroxiredoxins

Biological Chemistry, 2002
Present knowledge on peroxiredoxins is reviewed with special emphasis on catalytic principles, specificities and biological function. Peroxiredoxins are low efficiency peroxidases using thiols as reductants. They appear to be fairly promiscuous with respect to the hydroperoxide substrate; the specificities for the donor substrate vary considerably ...

Peroxiredoxins in the Lung with Emphasis on Peroxiredoxin VI

2007
All six mammalian peroxiredoxins are expressed in the lung. Peroxiredoxin (Prx) VI is the isoform expressed at the highest level and its lung expression exceeds that for other organs. The predominant location of Prx VI is the cytosol and acidic organelles of Clara cells of the conducting airways and type II epithelial cells and macrophages in the ...

Plant Peroxiredoxins

Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2003
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are abundant low-efficiency peroxidases located in distinct cell compartments including the chloroplast and mitochondrion. They are grouped into four clans based on their structural and biochemical properties. The catalytic center contains a cysteinyl residue that reduces diverse peroxides and is regenerated via intramolecular or

Structural Survey of the Peroxiredoxins

2007
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are ubiquitous proteins that use an active site Cys residue to reduce hydroperoxides. Structural studies since the first Prx structure was determined in 1998 have produced 35 crystal structures of wild type and mutant Prxs with at least one representative structure from each of the five major evolutionary subfamilies of Prxs ...

Stress-Induced Peroxiredoxins

2007
Some members of the Prx family are up-regulated in cells under stress conditions. Prx I is the major cytoplasmic Prx and is known as a stress-inducible antioxidant enzyme. Various stress agents or conditions activate Prx I gene expression in vitro and in vivo.

Peroxiredoxin

2000
Abstract The peroxiredoxin family is a widely distributed class of enzymes that directly reduce H2O2 and other hydroperoxides, with hydrogen derived from NAD(P)H, by different routes (1). Two highly conserved cysteine residues are revealed by alignment of the peroxiredoxin family members.
