6-[3-(1-adamantyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid (CD437/AHPN) and 4-[3-(1-adamantyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]-3-chlorocinnamic acid (3-Cl-AHPC/MM002) are inducers of apoptosis of malignant cells both in vitro and in vivo. Numerous mechanisms have been proposed for how these compounds exert this effect. This report shows that AHPN/3-Cl-AHPC binds specifically to the orphan nuclear recept...
Alkyl hydroperoxide reductase subunit C (AhpC) is the catalytic subunit responsible for the detoxification of reactive oxygen species that form in bacterial cells or are derived from the host; thus, AhpC facilitates the survival of pathogenic bacteria under environmental stresses or during infection. This study investigates the role of AhpC in the induction and maintenance of a viable but noncu...
Alkyl hydroperoxide reductase subunit C (AhpC) is the catalytic subunit responsible for alkyl peroxide metabolism. A Xanthomonas ahpC mutant was constructed. The mutant had increased sensitivity to organic peroxide killing, but was unexpectedly hyperresistant to H(2)O(2) killing. Analysis of peroxide detoxification enzymes in this mutant revealed differential alteration in catalase activities i...
We have previously identified and characterized the alkyl hydroperoxide reductase of Streptococcus mutans, which consists of two components, Nox-1 and AhpC. Deletion of both nox-1 and ahpC had no effect on the sensitivity of S. mutans to cumene hydroperoxide or H(2)O(2), implying that the existence of another antioxidant system(s) independent of the Nox-1-AhpC system compensates for the deficie...
Alkyl hydroperoxide reductase subunit C gene (ahpC) functions were characterized in Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a commonly occurring marine food-borne enteropathogenic bacterium. Two ahpC genes, ahpC1 (VPA1683) and ahpC2 (VP0580), encoded putative two-cysteine peroxiredoxins, which are highly similar to the homologous proteins of Vibrio vulnificus. The responses of deletion mutants of ahpC genes t...
AhpF of Salmonella typhimurium, the flavoprotein reductase required for catalytic turnover of AhpC with hydroperoxide substrates in the alkyl hydroperoxide reductase system, is a 57 kDa protein with homology to thioredoxin reductase (TrR) from Escherichia coli. Like TrR, AhpF employs tightly bound FAD and redox-active disulfide center(s) in catalyzing electron transfer from reduced pyridine nuc...
The two-component alkyl hydroperoxide reductase enzyme system from Salmonella typhimurium catalyzes the pyridine nucleotide-dependent reduction of alkyl hydroperoxide and hydrogen peroxide substrates. This system is composed of a flavoenzyme, AhpF, which is related to the disulfide-reducing enzyme thioredoxin reductase, and a smaller protein, AhpC, which lacks a chromophoric cofactor. We have d...
In this study, a pyrosequencing method for monitoring two genes related to isoniazid (INH)-resistance and a region of the rpoB gene linked to rifampin (RMP)-resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis was developed and evaluated. Specifically, a 20-base pair (bp) region of inhA (from -24 to -4), a 35-bp region of ahpC (from -39 to -4), and a 57-bp region of rpoB (from codon 515 to 533) were analys...
AhpF, the flavin-containing component of the Salmonella typhimurium alkyl hydroperoxide reductase system, catalyzes the NADH-dependent reduction of an active-site disulfide bond in the other component, AhpC, which in turn reduces hydroperoxide substrates. The amino acid sequence of the C-terminus of AhpF is 35% identical to that of thioredoxin reductase (TrR) from Escherichia coli. AhpF contain...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis alkylhydroperoxidase C (AhpC) belongs to the peroxiredoxin family, but unusually contains three cysteine residues in its active site. It is overexpressed in isoniazid-resistant strains of M. tuberculosis. We demonstrate that AhpC is capable of acting as a general antioxidant by protecting a range of substrates including supercoiled DNA. Active-site Cys to Ala mutants ...
