Disease relevance of TRX2

 

High impact information on TRX2

  • This is the first study that implicates thioredoxin activity in the regulation of plant disease resistance [6].
  • A heterodimer of thioredoxin and I(B)2 cooperates with Sec18p (NSF) to promote yeast vacuole inheritance [7].
  • Rapid and efficient homotypic fusion between salt-washed vacuoles requires the addition of only two purified soluble proteins, Sec18p (NSF) and LMA1, a novel heterodimer with a thioredoxin subunit [7].
  • Using a specific genetic screen, the TRX2 gene, one of two genes of S. cerevisiae that encode thioredoxin protein, was identified as being essential for YAP1 dependent resistance to hydroperoxides [8].
  • We demonstrate our approach with PTSB, a growth inhibitory compound with a previously unknown mode of action, by predicting and validating thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase as its target [9].

Associations of TRX2 with chemical compounds

 

Regulatory relationships of TRX2

  • The results suggest that cells lacking thioredoxin reductase have diminished capacity to detoxify oxidants and/or to repair oxidative stress-induced damage and that the thioredoxin system is involved in the redox regulation of Yap1p transcriptional activity [23].
  • Substitution of Phe(50) alters the beta-sheet in the thioredoxin fold structure and inhibits Grx5 function [24].
 

Other interactions of TRX2

  • An impact on ribonucleotide reduction was seen by an increased accumulation of RNR1 and RNR2 transcripts in the thioredoxin mutant (4.3- and 6.8-fold, respectively) [15].
  • A single glutaredoxin or thioredoxin gene is essential for viability in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae [25].
  • Similar to yeast Tsa1p, Ahp1p forms a disulfide-linked homodimer upon oxidation and in vivo requires the presence of the thioredoxin system but not of glutathione to perform its antioxidant protective function [26].
  • Here we show that GPX2 encodes an atypical 2-Cys peroxiredoxin which uses thioredoxin as an electron donor [27].
  • The 25-kDa enzyme is now shown to be a peroxidase that reduces H2O2 and alkyl hydroperoxides with the use of hydrogens provided by thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase, and NADPH [28].
