FUNCTIONThiol-specific peroxidase that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides to water and alcohols, respectively. Plays a role in cell protection against oxidative stress by detoxifying peroxides.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=[thioredoxin]-dithiol + a hydroperoxide = [thioredoxin]- disulfide + an alcohol + H2O; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:62620, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:10698, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10700, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:29950, ChEBI:CHEBI:30879, ChEBI:CHEBI:35924, ChEBI:CHEBI:50058; EC=1.11.1.24;
SUBUNITHomodimer.
case <FTTag:disulf>
MISCELLANEOUSThe active site is a conserved redox-active cysteine residue, the peroxidatic cysteine (C(P)), which makes the nucleophilic attack on the peroxide substrate. The peroxide oxidizes the C(P)-SH to cysteine sulfenic acid (C(P)-SOH), which then reacts with another cysteine residue, the resolving cysteine (C(R)), to form a disulfide bridge. The disulfide is subsequently reduced by an appropriate electron donor to complete the catalytic cycle. In this atypical 2-Cys peroxiredoxin, C(R) is present in the same subunit to form an intramolecular disulfide. The disulfide is subsequently reduced by thioredoxin.
end case
SIMILARITYBelongs to the peroxiredoxin family. Tpx subfamily.
