additional information | TDR1 displays weak GSTactivity with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, and a glutaredoxin-like thioltransferase activity, with hydroxyethyl disulfide, together with a previously noted dihydroascorbate reductase activity. The peptide substrate SQLWCLSN, with a bulky tryptophan adjacent to the cysteine, may not be optimal for binding to the sterically restricted G-I site on TDR1 leading to low deglutathionylation activity | Leishmania infantum | ? | - |

Subunits | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
trimer | structure of TDR1 reveals a unique trimer of subunits each containing two glutathione-S-transferase domains. The TDR1 subunit is constructed from two GST-like domains with a short linker region. The domains themselves consist of N-terminal glutaredoxin-like and C-terminal alpha-helical subdomains | Leishmania infantum |

General Information | Comment | Organism |

evolution | TDR1 belongs to the glutathione-S-transferase (GST) superfamily | Leishmania infantum |
physiological function | posttranslational S-glutathionylation modifications and glutaredoxin-dependent deglutathionylation participate in the regulation of metabolism and redox signalling in most organisms. Thiol-dependent reductase I, TDR1, an enzyme found in parasitic Leishmania species and Trypanosoma cruzi, is implicated in deglutathionylation and activation of antimonial prodrugs used to treat leishmaniasis. The deglutathionylation activity of TDR1 implies that glutathione itself has regulatory intracellular roles in addition to being a precursor for trypanothione, the major low mass thiol present in trypanosomatids | Leishmania infantum |
