Disease relevance of PRX1

 

High impact information on PRX1

  • This is the first example of 1-Cys Prx that has thioredoxin peroxidase activity [2].
  • We show also that Prx1p has peroxide reductase activity in vitro using the yeast mitochondrial thioredoxin system as electron donor [2].
  • Finally, exposure of null Prx1p mutant cells to oxidant conditions reveals an important role of the mitochondrial 1-Cys Prx in protection against oxidative stress [2].
  • Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) have been classified in two groups dependent on the presence of either one (1-Cys Prx) or two (2-Cys Prx) conserved cysteine residues [2].
  • Here we show that Trr1 is required during normal cell growth, whereas there is no apparent requirement for Glr1 [3].
 

Biological context of PRX1

 

Anatomical context of PRX1

  • Doxorubicin alone, depleted reductive capacity, i.e. decreased the activity of thioredoxin reductase in the skin, as well as the content of reduced glutathione both in the skin and blood plasma [7].
 

Associations of PRX1 with chemical compounds

  • We have previously shown that glucose represses the expression of mitochondrial thioredoxin peroxidase gene (PRX1) in a process mediated by cAMP/protein kinase A (PKA) and Msn2/4p [8].
  • Finally, mTPx I also induced by t-butyl hydroperoxide in a Hap1p-independent manner [9].
  • Independent of dietary Se chemical form, thioredoxin reductase activity was responsive to reproductive state [10].
  • Here, for the first time in a pathogenic eukaryote, we have demonstrated that the amoebic protein also possesses peroxidatic and antioxidant activities in the presence of reductants such as dithiothreitol or thioredoxin reductase plus thioredoxin [11].
  • The antigenicity was lost upon reduction of TR by NADPH indicating a large conformational change upon reduction of the redox-active disulfide in the enzyme [12].
 

Other interactions of PRX1

  • We also identified the position of the stress transcription responsive element (STRE) in the PRX1 promoter, which is recognized by Msn2p and Msn4p activators [8].
  • Expression of mitochondrial thioredoxin peroxidase (Prx1p) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is subjected to complex transcriptional regulation and is responsive to the levels of several compounds such as glucose and peroxides [8].
  • The antioxidant activity of 1-Cys Prx was tested for its ability to protect yeast enolase against inactivation of the mixed-function oxidation system [13].
