Redox Regulatory Mechanism of Transnitrosylation by Thioredoxin*
Transnitrosylation and denitrosylation are emerging as key post-translational modification events in regulating both normal physiology and a wide spectrum of human diseases. Thioredoxin 1 (Trx1) is a conserved antioxidant that functions as a classic disulfide reductase. It also catalyzes the transnitrosylation or denitrosylation of caspase 3 (Casp3), underscoring its central role in determining...
متن کاملCompartmentation of Nrf-2 redox control: regulation of cytoplasmic activation by glutathione and DNA binding by thioredoxin-1.
Nrf-2 is a redox-sensitive transcription factor that is activated by an oxidative signal in the cytoplasm but has a critical cysteine that must be reduced to bind to DNA in the nucleus. The glutathione (GSH) and thioredoxin (TRX) systems have overlapping functions in thiol/disulfide redox control in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus, and it is unclear whether these are redundant or have unique...
متن کاملTuning of Thioredoxin Redox Properties by Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonds
Thioredoxin-like proteins contain a characteristic C-x-x-C active site motif and are involved in a large number of biological processes ranging from electron transfer, cellular redox level maintenance, and regulation of cellular processes. The mechanism for deprotonation of the buried C-terminal active site cysteine in thioredoxin, necessary for dissociation of the mixed-disulfide intermediate ...
متن کاملInduction of apoptosis without redox catastrophe by thioredoxin-inhibitory compounds.
The dithiol-reducing thioredoxin/thioredoxin reductase system normally maintains the reduced state of key enzymes responsible for the cell's anti-oxidant defences. We therefore addressed the question of whether AW 464--a novel thioredoxin inhibitor--as well as broad spectrum dithiol ligands diamide and phenylarsine oxide are able to induce and execute a regular apoptotic sequence of events with...
