Comments [?]

Function Thiol-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 RHEA:62620: [thioredoxin]-dithiol + a hydroperoxide = [thioredoxin]-disulfide + an alcohol + H2O
EC 1.11.1.24
Subunit Homodecamer. Pentamer of dimers that assemble into a ring structure.
Subcellular location Cytoplasm.
case <FTGroup:1>
Miscellaneous The 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. Although the primary sequence of this enzyme is similar to those of the 1-Cys Prx6 enzymes, its catalytic properties resemble those of the typical 2-Cys Prxs and C(R) is provided by the other dimeric subunit to form an intersubunit disulfide. The disulfide is subsequently reduced by thioredoxin.

The disulfide is subsequently reduced by an appropriate electron donor to complete the catalytic cycle. In this 1-Cys peroxiredoxin, no C(R) is present and C(P) instead forms a disulfide with a cysteine from another protein or with a small thiol molecule.
end case
Similarity Belongs to the peroxiredoxin family. Prx6 subfamily.
