In the course of the reaction of EC 1.11.1.15, peroxiredoxin, its cysteine residue is alternately oxidized to the sulfenic acid, S-hydroxycysteine, and reduced back to cysteine. Occasionally the S-hydroxycysteine residue is further oxidized to the sulfinic acid S-hydroxy-S-oxocysteine, thereby inactivating the enzyme. The reductase provides a mechanism for regenerating the active form of peroxiredoxin, i.e. the peroxiredoxin-(S-hydroxycysteine) form. Apparently the reductase first catalyses the phosphorylation of the -S(O)-OH group by ATP to give -S(O)-O-P, which is attached to the peroxiredoxin by a cysteine residue, forming an -S(O)-S- link between the two enzymes. Attack by a thiol splits this bond, leaving the peroxiredoxin as the sulfenic acid and the reductase as the thiol.

enzyme is able to act as a redox-dependent sulfinic acid reductase and as a redox-independent nuclease enzyme. Sulfiredoxin functions as a nuclease enzyme that can use single-stranded and double-stranded DNAs as substrates. The active site of the reductase function of sulfiredoxin is not involved in its nuclease function
dual localization to plastid and mitochondrion, in line with the prediction of a signal peptide for dual targeting. In mitochondria, enzyme interacts with peroxiredoxin IIF and thioredoxin. Sulfiredoxin catalyzes the retroreduction of the inactive sulfinic form of atypical Prx IIF using thioredoxin as reducing agent
AtSrx has more positive charges than human enzyme HsSrx. The theoretical pI of AtSrx is 9.86, much higher than 5.47 of HsSrx. There are 10 arginine residues and 7 lysine residues in AtSrx but only 5 arginine residues and 3 lysine residues in HsSrx. For negatively charged amino acids residues, there are 6 glutamic acid residues and 4 aspartic acid residues in AtSrx, while there are 2 glutamic acid residues and 8 aspartic acid residues in HsSrx. Abundant charged amino acids of AtSrx provide more positive charge at ADP binding pocket and more interaction with active
2-Cys peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are highly abundant peroxidases that play as peroxide sensors promoting H2O2 signaling and oxidative stress resistance in respond to elevated oxidative levels. Prxs use a peroxidatic cysteine (Cys-SpH) to catalytically decompose peroxides. During normal catalysis, the peroxidatic Cys residue (Cys-SpH) is oxidized to Cys sulfenic acid (Cys-SpOH) and further inactivation by peroxidation of the peroxidatic cysteine residue to Cys sulfinic acid (Cys-SpO2-). Importantly, Prxs can be reactivated with the Cys-SPO2- moiety reduced to Cys sulfenic acid (Cys-SpOH) by a repaired enzyme known as sulfiredoxin (Srx). This reversible event is a physiologically important process against the oxidative stress that can allow cells to return to homeostasis
the antioxidant function of 2-Cys peroxiredoxin, Prx, EC 1.11.1.15, involves the oxidation of its conserved peroxidatic cysteine to sulfinic acid that is recycled by a reductor agent. Sulfiredoxin reduces the sulfinic 2-Cys Prx, Prx-SO2H. The activity of sulfiredoxin is dependent on the concentration of the sulfinic form of Prx and the conserved Srx is capable of regenerating the functionality of both pea and Arabidopsis Prx-SO2H
the crystal structure of sulfiredoxin from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtSrx) displays a typical ParB/Srx fold with an ATP bound at a conservative nucleotide binding motif GCHR. Both the ADP binding pocket and the putative AtSrx-AtPrxA interaction surface of AtSrx are more positively charged comparing to HsSrx, suggesting a robust mechanism of AtSrx. Complex formation analysis of enzyme AtSrx with wild-type and F149Q/C241S mutant AtPrxA substrates

site-directed mutagenesis, the mutation in AtSrx only partially reduces its activity and needs the additional mutation of E76 to totally inactivation. The survived activity of AtSrx may be the result of that AtSrx has two more arginine residues at the loop next to alpha1. The side chains of Arg32 and Arg34, which can swing to the side of Cys72, may partially compensate for the effects of the loss of Arg28
site-directed mutagenesis, the double mutation disrupts the stability of the loop in which Arg32/Arg34 is located, therefore AtSrx is completely inactivated
