Peroxiredoxins in Parasites [PDF]

open access: yesAntioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2012
Parasite survival and virulence relies on effective defenses against reactive oxygen and nitrogen species produced by the host immune system. Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are ubiquitous enzymes now thought to be central to such defenses and, as such, have potential value as drug targets and vaccine antigens.Plasmodial and kinetoplastid Prx systems are the ...

Hyperglycemia decreases preoxiredoxin-2 expression in a middle cerebral artery occlusion model

open access: yesLaboratory Animal Research, 2017
Diabetes is a major risk factor for stroke and is also associated with worsened outcomes following a stroke. Peroxiredoxin-2 exerts potent neuroprotective effects against oxidative stress.

Peroxiredoxin promotes longevity and H2O2-resistance in yeast through redox-modulation of protein kinase A

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Peroxiredoxins are H2O2 scavenging enzymes that also carry out H2O2 signaling and chaperone functions. In yeast, the major cytosolic peroxiredoxin, Tsa1 is required for both promoting resistance to H2O2 and extending lifespan upon caloric restriction. We

Oxidative stress modulates heme synthesis and induces peroxiredoxin-2 as a novel cytoprotective response in β-thalassemic erythropoiesis

open access: yesHaematologica, 2011
Background β-thalassemic syndromes are inherited red cell disorders characterized by severe ineffective erythropoiesis and increased levels of reactive oxygen species whose contribution to β-thalassemic anemia is only partially understood.Design and ...

Cysteine Specific Targeting of the Functionally Distinct Peroxiredoxin and Glutaredoxin Proteins by the Investigational Disulfide BNP7787

open access: yesMolecules, 2015
Glutaredoxin (Grx), peroxiredoxin (Prx), and thioredoxin (Trx) are redoxin family proteins that catalyze different types of chemical reactions that impact cell growth and survival through functionally distinct intracellular pathways.

Peroxiredoxin Asp f3 Is Essential for Aspergillus fumigatus To Overcome Iron Limitation during Infection

open access: yesmBio, 2021
Aspergillus fumigatus is an important fungal pathogen that causes allergic reactions but also life-threatening infections. One of the most abundant A. fumigatus proteins is Asp f3. This peroxiredoxin is a major fungal allergen and known for its role as a

Dentate Gyrus Peroxiredoxin 6 Levels Discriminate Aged Unimpaired From Impaired Rats in a Spatial Memory Task

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2019
Similar to humans, the normal aged rat population is not homogeneous in terms of cognitive function. Two distinct subpopulations of aged Sprague–Dawley rats can be identified on the basis of spatial memory performance in the hole-board paradigm.

Ultra-Sensitive Hydrogen Peroxide Sensor Based on Peroxiredoxin and Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
In this paper, a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based sensor for ultra-sensitive detection of H2O2 was developed by utilizing the unique enzymatic properties of peroxiredoxin (Prx) to H2O2. Cyan and yellow fluorescent protein (CFP and YFP)
