IUBMB CommentsPeroxiredoxins (Prxs) are a ubiquitous family of antioxidant proteins. They can be divided into three classes: typical 2-Cys, atypical 2-Cys and 1-Cys peroxiredoxins . The peroxidase reaction comprises two steps centred around a redox-active cysteine called the peroxidatic cysteine. All three peroxiredoxin classes have the first step in common, in which the peroxidatic cysteine attacks the peroxide substrate and is oxidized to S-hydroxycysteine (a sulfenic acid) (see {single/111115a::mechanism}). The second step of the peroxidase reaction, the regeneration of cysteine from S-hydroxycysteine, distinguishes the three peroxiredoxin classes. For typical 2-Cys Prxs, in the second step, the peroxidatic S-hydroxycysteine from one subunit is attacked by the 'resolving' cysteine located in the C-terminus of the second subunit, to form an intersubunit disulfide bond, which is then reduced by one of several cell-specific thiol-containing reductants completing the catalytic cycle. In the atypical 2-Cys Prxs, both the peroxidatic cysteine and its resolving cysteine are in the same polypeptide, so their reaction forms an intrachain disulfide bond. The 1-Cys Prxs conserve only the peroxidatic cysteine, so its regeneration involves direct interaction with a reductant molecule. Glutathione-dependent peroxiredoxins have been reported from bacteria and animals, and appear to be 1-Cys enzymes. The mechanism for the mammalian PRDX6 enzyme involves heterodimerization of the enzyme with pi-glutathione S-transferase, followed by glutathionylation of the oxidized cysteine residue. Subsequent dissociation of the heterodimer yields glutathionylated peroxiredoxin, which is restored to the active form via spontaneous reduction by a second glutathione molecule.

reaction is driven by glutathione which is maintained reduced via NADPH and glutathione reductase. Both the peroxiredoxin and glutaredoxin domains are biochemically active in the natural hybrid protein which contains both a peroxiredoxin and a glutaredoxin domain. When expressed separately, the glutaredoxin domain is catalytically active and the peroxiredoxin domain posseses a weak activity when supplemented with expoenous glutaredoxin

DTT is not a physiological reductant and thioredoxin, the reductant that is active in the catalytic cycle for the 2-Cys peroxiredoxins, is not effective as a reductant for 1-Cys Prdx6. Prdx6 binds and reduces phospholipid hydroperoxides. Prdx6 reduces H2O2 and other short chain hydroperoxides. The conserved Cys in Prdx6 is buried at the base of a narrow pocket. This location renders it unable to dimerize through disulfide formation in the native configuration but homodimers (and multimers) can arise through hydrophobic interactions. Disulfide formation may occur with denatured proteins and heterodimerization also occurs normally as part of the catalytic cycle. The protein also contains a surface expressed catalytic triad, S-D-H, that is important for phospholipid binding and enzymatic activities
