In silico analysis of Eucalyptus thioredoxins
The Eucalyptus Genome Sequencing Project (FORESTs), an initiative from the Brazilian ONSA consortium (Organization for Nucleotide Sequencing and Analysis), has achieved the sequencing of 123.889 EST clones from 18 different cDNA libraries.

Two essential Thioredoxins mediate apicoplast biogenesis, protein import, and gene expression in Toxoplasma gondii. [PDF]
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 ...

General aspects of plant thioredoxins
Chloroplast is the organelle for photosynthesis in eukaryotic cells. In it the presence of a light-dependent ferredoxin/thioredoxin system (FTS) and a NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase C (NTRC), have been implicated in plant defense response and at ...

Thioredoxins (TRXs) are small disulfide oxidoreductases of ca. 12 kDa found in all free living organisms. In plants, two chloroplastic TRXs, named TRX f and TRX m, were originally identified as light dependent regulators of several carbon metabolism enzymes including Calvin cycle enzymes.

Cytosolic, Mitochondrial Thioredoxins and Thioredoxin Reductases in Arabidopsis Thaliana
Thioredoxins, by reducing disulfide bridges are one of the main participants that regulate cellular redox balance. In plants, the thioredoxin system is particularly complex. The most well-known thioredoxins are the chloroplastic ones, that participate in the regulation of enzymatic activities during the transition between light and dark phases.

Glutaredoxins and thioredoxins in plants
During the 70s and 80s two plant thioredoxin systems were identified. The chloroplastic system is composed of a ferredoxin-dependent thioredoxin, with two thioredoxin types (m and f) regulating the activity of enzymes implicated in photosynthetic carbon assimilation. In the cytosol of heterotrophic tissues, an NADP dependent thioredoxin reductase and a

Physiological functions of thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase [PDF]
Thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase and NADPH, the thioredoxin system, is ubiquitous from Archea to man. Thioredoxins, with a dithiol/disulfide active site (CGPC) are the major cellular protein disulfide reductases; they therefore also serve as electron donors for enzymes such as ribonucleotide reductases, thioredoxin peroxidases (peroxiredoxins) and ...

The mammalian thioredoxin reductases (TrxRs) are a family of selenium-containing pyridine nucleotide-disulphide oxidoreductases with mechanistic and sequence identity, including a conserved -Cys-Val-Asn-Val-Gly-Cys- redox catalytic site, to glutathione reductases.

Redox Regulation by Thioredoxin and Thioredoxin‐Binding Proteins [PDF]
AbstractRecent works have shown the importance of reduction/oxidation (redox) regulation in various biological phenomena. Thioredoxin is a 12‐kDa protein with redox‐active dithiol in the active site ‐Cys‐Gly‐Pro‐Cys‐ and constitutes a major thiol reducing system, the thioredoxin system.
