Redox imbalance elicited by oxidative stress contributes to pathogenic remodeling of ion channels that underlies arrhythmogenesis and contractile dysfunction in the failing heart. This study examined whether the expression of K(+) channels in the remodeled ventricle is controlled by the thioredoxin system, a principal oxidoreductase network regulating redox-sensitive proteins. Ventricular dysfu...
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) and sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) were identified and purified from the Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plant, Kalanchoë daigremontiana. FBPase and SBPase showed respective molecular weights of 180,000 and 76,000, and exhibited immunological cross-reactivity with their counterparts from chloroplasts of C(3) (spinach) and C(4) (corn) plants. Ba...
The thioredoxin system exists ubiquitously and participates in essential antioxidant and redox-regulation processes via a pair of conserved cysteine residues. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which lacks a genuine glutathione system, the thioredoxin system provides reducing equivalents inside the cell. The three-dimensional structure of thioredoxin reductase from M. tuberculosis has been determin...
The reduced form of thioredoxin, a low molecular weight hydrogen transport protein, was isolated from calf liver. The purification involved heat treatment and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, Sephadex G-SO, and CM-cellulose, and it resulted in an apparently pure protein after a 4,000-fold purification with a final yield of 30%. The thioredoxin preparation obtained was homogeneous as judged by ...
The vacuole of Saccharomyces cerevisiae projects a stream of tubules a and vesicles (a "segregation structure") into the bud in early S phase. We have described an in vitro reaction, requiring physiological temperature, ATP, and cytosol, in which isolated vacuoles form segregation structures and fuse. This in vitro reaction is defective when reaction components are prepared from vac mutants tha...
A role for thioredoxin in metazoan DNA synthesis has been assessed by injecting rapidly dividing Xenopus eggs with purified heterologous thioredoxins, which might act as inhibitors if they were to replace resident thioredoxins in some but not all reaction steps. Of 10 tested proteins, spinach chloroplast thioredoxin m is the most potent inhibitor. Eggs cleave and produce cells lacking nuclei. D...
Thioredoxin is a highly conserved disulfide reducing protein whose structure and biochemical properties have been extensively studied. Nonetheless, its function in vivo is not well defined. In Drosophila, the maternal-effect gene deadhead encodes a thioredoxin-like protein that is required for initiation of embryonic development. Here we report that deadhead function is dependent on its enzymat...
Intrinsic antioxidant defences are important for neuronal longevity. We show that synaptic activity, acting via NMDA receptor (NMDAR) signaling, boosts antioxidant defences through changes to the thioredoxin-peroxiredoxin system. Synaptic activity enhances thioredoxin activity, facilitates the reduction of overoxidized peroxiredoxins, and promotes resistance to oxidative stress. Resistance is m...
Gravity perception and gravitropic response are essential for plant development. In herbaceous species, it is widely accepted that one of the primary events in gravity perception involves the displacement of amyloplasts within specialized cells. However, the early signaling events leading to stem reorientation are not fully known, especially in woody species in which primary and secondary growt...
Botulinum neurotoxins consist of a metalloprotease linked via a conserved interchain disulfide bond to a heavy chain responsible for neurospecific binding and translocation of the enzymatic domain in the nerve terminal cytosol. The metalloprotease activity is enabled upon disulfide reduction and causes neuroparalysis by cleaving the SNARE proteins. Here, we show that the thioredoxin reductase-t...
