Structural and Biochemical Characterization of Thioredoxin-2 from <i>Deinococcus radiodurans</i>

Thioredoxin (Trx), a ubiquitous protein showing disulfide reductase activity, plays critical roles in cellular redox control and oxidative stress response. Trx is a member of the Trx system, comprising Trx, Trx reductase (TrxR), and a cognate reductant (generally reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucle...

Structural and Biochemical Characterization of Thioredoxin-2 from <i>Deinococcus radiodurans</i>
description Thioredoxin (Trx), a ubiquitous protein showing disulfide reductase activity, plays critical roles in cellular redox control and oxidative stress response. Trx is a member of the Trx system, comprising Trx, Trx reductase (TrxR), and a cognate reductant (generally reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, NADPH). Bacterial Trx1 contains only the Trx-fold domain, in which the active site CXXC motif that is critical for the disulfide reduction activity is located.

The multi-stress resistant bacterium <i>Deinococcus radiodurans</i> encodes both Trx1 (DrTrx1) and Trx2 (DrTrx2), which act as members of the enzymatic antioxidant systems. In this study, we constructed Δ<i>drtrx1</i> and Δ<i>drtrx2</i> mutants and examined their survival rates under H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> treated conditions.
