Comments
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) can be classified into three categories (see [2]):
(1) typical 2-Cys Prxs; conservation of two redox-active cysteines; homodimers having two identical active sites.
(2) atypical 2-Cys Prxs; conservation of two redox-active cysteines; functionally monomeric.
(3) 1-Cys Prxs; only one cysteine.
This enzyme belongs to the category of 1-Cys Prxs.
The redox-active cysteine is referred to as the peroxidatic cysteine, in contrast to the second cysteine, the resolving cysteine, in the 2-Cys Prxs.
Since this enzyme is homologous to two-domain peroxiredoxin (D00869 in EzCatDB), it must have a similar catalytic mechanism as the homologue.
Thus, this enzyme catalyzes the following reactions (see [2], [3], [4]):
(A) Transfer of peroxide oxygen from another peroxide oxygen to the perdoxidatic Cys, forming Cys-sulfenic acid:
(A0) Sidechains of Thr42 and Arg116 (of 1xxu) may lower the pKa of sidechain of Cys45, along with the mainchain amide groups of Leu39 and Cys45.
(A1) The thiolate of Cys45 makes a nucleophilic (in-line) attack on the electrophilic oxygen atom of hydroperoxide, leading to the transition-state (SN2-like reaction).
(A2) During the transition-state, sidechains of Arg116 and Thr42 stabilize the transferred oxygen atom, whereas the acceptor, thiolate of Cys45, is stabilized by sidechains of Arg116 and Thr42, and mainchain amide of Cys45. Moreover, the leaving alkoxide (RO-) is stabilized by mainchain amide of Ile44.
(A3) Finally, the bond cleavage and new bond formation complete.
(B) Transfer of sulfur atom of the peroxidatic Cys from the hydroxyl group to thiol (or sulfhydryl) group of the second substrate (R'-SH; Glutaredoxin or glutathione), releasing H2O and forming a disulfide bond:
(B1) Activated thiol makes a nucleophilic attack on the sulfur atom of Cys45, relasing OH group. This reaction forms a new disulfide bond between Cys45 and thiol of the second substrate. However, it is not clear how the thiol group can be activated for the nucleophilicity, and whether a protonation to leaving OH group occurs.
(C) Electron transfer from thiol of the third substrate (or another R'-SH) to the disulfide bond (thiol-disulfide exchange):
(C1) Thiol of another R'-SH makes a nucleophilic attack on the sulfur atom of sulfur atom (from the second substrate) of the disulfide bond, relasing Cys45. This reaction forms a new disulfide bond between the two substrates (R'-SH). However, it is not clear how the thiol can be activated for the nucleophilicity.
Although this enzyme can be over-oxidized to form sulfinic acid (-SO2H) and further oxidized sulfonic acid (-SO3H), over-oxidization mechanism is not described in this entry. Incidentally, 1xiy (of PDB) gives structures of sulfonic acid form.
