The Antioxidant Enzyme Prdx1 Controls Neuronal Differentiation by Thiol-Redox-Dependent Activation of GDE2
The six-transmembrane protein GDE2 controls the onset and progression of spinal motor neuron differentiation through extracellular glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase metabolism. Although this process is likely to be tightly regulated, the relevant mechanisms that modulate its activity are unknown. Here we show that the antioxidant scavenger peroxiredoxin1 (Prdx1) interacts with GDE2, and t...
متن کاملRedox Regulation of Insulin Degradation by Insulin-Degrading Enzyme
Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) is a thiol sensitive peptidase that degrades insulin and amyloid β, and has been linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus and Alzheimer's disease. We examined the thiol sensitivity of IDE using S-nitrosoglutathione, reduced glutathione, and oxidized glutathione to distinguish the effects of nitric oxide from that of the redox state. The in vitro activity of IDE was stud...
متن کاملThe Flavoprotein Dodecin as a Redox Probe for Electron Transfer through DNA**
Nowadays it is well established that photochemically induced electron transfer (ET) through DNA in solution is limited to relatively short distances. In most experimental studies, photochemically induced ET was observed over less than 10 base pairs (bp; 3.4 nm), and, because ET is dependent on the base sequence, at shorter distances (under 5 base pairs) ET is not always efficient. The situation...
متن کاملHalophilic enzyme activation induced by salts
Halophilic archea (halobacteriae) thrive in hypersaline environments, avoiding osmotic shock by increasing the ion concentration of their cytoplasm by up to 3-6 M. To remain folded and active, their constitutive proteins have evolved towards a biased amino acid composition. High salt concentration affects catalytic activity in an enzyme-dependent way and a unified molecular mechanism remains el...
متن کاملA redox site involved in integrin activation.
Integrin adhesion receptors contain an on/off switch that regulates ligand binding affinity and cell adhesion. The switch from "off" to "on" is commonly referred to as integrin activation. The objective of this study was to gain insight into the nature of the on/off switch in platelet integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3). Here, we show that a select group of the cysteines, located within the extracellula...
