Abstract
The peroxiredoxins (Prxs), potential drug targets, constitute an important class of antioxidant enzymes present in both pathogen and their host. The comparative binding potential of inhibitors to Prxs from pathogen and host could be an important step in drug development against pathogens. Huanglongbing (HLB) is a most devastating disease of citrus caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLa). In this study, the binding of conoidin-A (conoidin) and celastrol inhibitor molecules to peroxiredoxin of bacterioferritin comigratory protein family from CLa (CLaBCP) and its host plant peroxiredoxin from Citrus sinensis (CsPrx) was assessed. The CLaBCP has a lower specific activity than CsPrx and is efficiently inhibited by conoidin and celastrol molecules. The biophysical studies showed conformational changes and significant thermal stability of CLaBCP in the presence of inhibitor molecules as compared to CsPrx. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) studies revealed that the conoidin and celastrol inhibitor molecules have a strong binding affinity (KD) with CLaBCP at 33.0 µM, and 18.5 µM as compared to CsPrx at 52.0 µM and 61.6 µM, respectively. The docked complexes of inhibitor molecules showed more structural stability of CLaBCP as compared to CsPrx during the run of molecular dynamics-based simulations for 100 ns. The present study suggests that the conoidin and celastrol molecules can be exploited as potential inhibitor molecules against the CLa to manage the HLB disease.

The cytosolic hyperoxidation-sensitive and -robust Leishmania peroxiredoxins cPRX1 and cPRX2 are both dispensable for parasite infectivity. Redox Biol 2024; 71:103122. [PMID: 38490068 PMCID: PMC10955670 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2024.103122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 03/06/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Typical two-cysteine peroxiredoxins (2-Cys-PRXs) are H2O2-metabolizing enzymes whose activity relies on two cysteine residues. Protists of the family Trypanosomatidae invariably express one cytosolic 2-Cys-PRX (cPRX1). However, the Leishmaniinae sub-family features an additional isoform (cPRX2), almost identical to cPRX1, except for the lack of an elongated C-terminus with a Tyr-Phe (YF) motif. Previously, cytosolic PRXs were considered vital components of the trypanosomatid antioxidant machinery. Here, we shed new light on the properties, functions and relevance of cPRXs from the human pathogen Leishmania infantum. We show first that LicPRX1 is sensitive to inactivation by hyperoxidation, mirroring other YF-containing PRXs participating in redox signaling. Using genetic fusion constructs with roGFP2, we establish that LicPRX1 and LicPRX2 can act as sensors for H2O2 and oxidize protein thiols with implications for signal transduction. Third, we show that while disrupting the LicPRX-encoding genes increases susceptibility of L. infantum promastigotes to external H2O2in vitro, both enzymes are dispensable for the parasites to endure the macrophage respiratory burst, differentiate into amastigotes and initiate in vivo infections. This study introduces a novel perspective on the functions of trypanosomatid cPRXs, exposing their dual roles as both peroxidases and redox sensors. Furthermore, the discovery that Leishmania can adapt to the absence of both enzymes has significant implications for our understanding of Leishmania infections and their treatment. Importantly, it questions the conventional notion that the oxidative response of macrophages during phagocytosis is a major barrier to infection and the suitability of cPRXs as drug targets for leishmaniasis.

Abstract
We have studied the reduction reactions of two cytosolic human peroxiredoxins (Prx) in their disulfide form by three thioredoxins (Trx; two human and one bacterial), with the aim of better understanding the rate and mechanism of those reactions, and their relevance in the context of the catalytic cycle of Prx. We have developed a new methodology based on stopped-flow and intrinsic fluorescence to study the bimolecular reactions, and found rate constants in the range of 105 -106 m-1 s-1 in all cases, showing that there is no marked kinetic preference for the expected Trx partner. By combining experimental findings and molecular dynamics studies, we found that the reactivity of the nucleophilic cysteine (CN ) in the Trx is greatly affected by the formation of the Prx-Trx complex. The protein-protein interaction forces the CN thiolate into an unfavorable hydrophobic microenvironment that reduces its hydration and results in a remarkable acceleration of the thiol-disulfide exchange reactions by more than three orders of magnitude and also produces a measurable shift in the pKa of the CN . This mechanism of activation of the thiol disulfide exchange may help understand the reduction of Prx by alternative reductants involved in redox signaling.

Abstract
In the cytosol of human cells under low oxidative loads, hydrogen peroxide is confined to microdomains around its supply sites, due to its fast consumption by peroxiredoxins. So are the sulfenic and disulfide forms of the 2-Cys peroxiredoxins, according to a previous theoretical analysis [Travasso et al., Redox Biology 15 (2017) 297]. Here, an extended reaction-diffusion model that for the first time considers the differential properties of human peroxiredoxins 1 and 2 and the thioredoxin redox cycle predicts important new aspects of the dynamics of redox microdomains. The peroxiredoxin 1 sulfenates and disulfides are more localized than the corresponding peroxiredoxin 2 forms, due to the former peroxiredoxin's faster resolution step. The thioredoxin disulfides are also localized. As the H2O2 supply rate (vsup) approaches and then surpasses the maximal rate of the thioredoxin/thioredoxin reductase system (V), these concentration gradients become shallower, and then vanish. At low vsup the peroxiredoxin concentration determines the H2O2 concentrations and gradient length scale, but as vsup approaches V, the thioredoxin reductase activity gains influence. A differential mobility of peroxiredoxin disulfide dimers vs. reduced decamers enhances the redox polarity of the cytosol: as vsup approaches V, reduced decamers are preferentially retained far from H2O2 sources, attenuating the local H2O2 buildup. Substantial total protein concentration gradients of both peroxiredoxins emerge under these conditions, and the concentration of reduced peroxiredoxin 1 far from the H2O2 sources even increases with vsup. Altogether, the properties of 2-Cys peroxiredoxins and thioredoxin are such that localized H2O2 supply induces a redox and functional polarization between source-proximal regions (redox microdomains) that facilitate peroxiredoxin-mediated signaling and distal regions that maximize antioxidant protection.

Abstract
The oxidant hydrogen peroxide serves as a signaling molecule that alters many aspects of cardiovascular functions. Recent studies suggest that cytoglobin - a hemoglobin expressed in the vasculature - may promote electron transfer reactions with proposed functions in hydrogen peroxide decomposition. Here, we determined the extent to which cytoglobin regulates intracellular hydrogen peroxide and established mechanisms. We found that cytoglobin decreased the hyperoxidation of peroxiredoxins and maintained the activity of peroxiredoxin 2 following challenge with exogenous hydrogen peroxide. Cytoglobin promoted a reduced intracellular environment and facilitated the reduction of the thiol-based hydrogen peroxide sensor Hyper7 after bolus addition of hydrogen peroxide. Cytoglobin also limited the inhibitory effect of hydrogen peroxide on glycolysis and reversed the oxidative inactivation of the glycolytic enzyme GAPDH. Our results indicate that cytoglobin in cells exists primarily as oxyferrous cytoglobin (CygbFe 2+ -O 2 ) with its cysteine residues in the reduced form. We found that the specific substitution of one of two cysteine residues on cytoglobin (C83A) inhibited the reductive activity of cytoglobin on Hyper7 and GAPDH. Carotid arteries from cytoglobin knockout mice were more sensitive to glycolytic inhibition by hydrogen peroxide than arteries from wildtype mice. Together, these results support a role for cytoglobin in regulating intracellular redox signals associated with hydrogen peroxide through oxidation of its cysteine residues, independent of hydrogen peroxide reaction at its heme center.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (Prx), thiol-dependent peroxidases, were first identified as H2O2 detoxifiers, and more recently as H2O2 sensors, intermediates in redox-signaling pathways, metabolism modulators, and chaperones. The multifaceted nature of Prx is not only dependent on their peroxidase activity but also strongly associated with specific protein-protein interactions that are being identified, and where the Prx oligomerization dynamics plays a role. Their oxidation by a peroxide substrate forms a sulfenic acid that opens a route to channel the redox signal to diverse protein targets. Recent research underscores the importance of different Prx isoforms in the cellular processes behind disease development with potential therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins play central roles in the detoxification of reactive oxygen species and have been modelled across multiple organisms using a variety of kinetic methods. However, the peroxiredoxin dimer-to-decamer transition has been underappreciated in these studies despite the 100-fold difference in activity between these forms. This is due to the lack of available kinetics and a theoretical framework for modelling this process. Using published isothermal titration calorimetry data, we obtained association and dissociation rate constants of 0.050 µM-4·s-1 and 0.055 s-1, respectively, for the dimer-decamer transition of human PRDX1. We developed an approach that greatly reduces the number of reactions and species needed to model the peroxiredoxin decamer oxidation cycle. Using these data, we simulated horse radish peroxidase competition and NADPH-oxidation linked assays and found that the dimer-decamer transition had an inhibition-like effect on peroxidase activity. Further, we incorporated this dimer-decamer topology and kinetics into a published and validated in vivo model of PRDX2 in the erythrocyte and found that it almost perfectly reconciled experimental and simulated responses of PRDX2 oxidation state to hydrogen peroxide insult. By accounting for the dimer-decamer transition of peroxiredoxins, we were able to resolve several discrepancies between experimental data and available kinetic models.

Abstract
Despite the large amounts of H2O2 generated in mammalian peroxisomes, cysteine residues of intraperoxisomal proteins are maintained in a reduced state. The biochemistry behind this phenomenon remains unexplored, and simple questions such as "is the peroxisomal membrane permeable to glutathione?" or "is there a thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase in the organelle matrix?" still have no answer. We used a cell-free in vitro system to equip rat liver peroxisomes with a glutathione redox sensor. The organelles were then incubated with glutathione solutions of different redox potentials and the oxidation/reduction kinetics of the redox sensor was monitored. The data suggest that the mammalian peroxisomal membrane is promptly permeable to both reduced and oxidized glutathione. No evidence for the presence of a robust thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase in the peroxisomal matrix could be found. Also, prolonged incubation of organelle suspensions with glutaredoxin 1 did not result in the internalization of the enzyme. To explore a potential role of glutathione in intraperoxisomal redox homeostasis we performed kinetic simulations. The results suggest that even in the absence of a glutaredoxin, glutathione is more important in protecting cysteine residues of matrix proteins from oxidation by H2O2 than peroxisomal catalase itself.

Abstract
Human peroxiredoxin 3 (HsPrx3) is a thiol-based peroxidase responsible for the reduction of most hydrogen peroxide and peroxynitrite formed in mitochondria. Mitochondrial disfunction can lead to membrane lipoperoxidation, resulting in the formation of lipid-bound fatty acid hydroperoxides (LFA-OOHs) which can be released to become free fatty acid hydroperoxides (fFA-OOHs). Herein, we report that HsPrx3 is oxidized and hyperoxidized by fFA-OOHs including those derived from arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid peroxidation at position 15 with remarkably high rate constants of oxidation (>3.5 × 107 M-1s-1) and hyperoxidation (~2 × 107 M-1s-1). The endoperoxide-hydroperoxide PGG2, an intermediate in prostanoid synthesis, oxidized HsPrx3 with a similar rate constant, but was less effective in causing hyperoxidation. Biophysical methodologies suggest that HsPrx3 can bind hydrophobic structures. Indeed, molecular dynamic simulations allowed the identification of a hydrophobic patch near the enzyme active site that can allocate the hydroperoxide group of fFA-OOHs in close proximity to the thiolate in the peroxidatic cysteine. Simulations performed using available and herein reported kinetic data indicate that HsPrx3 should be considered a main target for mitochondrial fFA-OOHs. Finally, kinetic simulation analysis support that mitochondrial fFA-OOHs formation fluxes in the range of nM/s are expected to contribute to HsPrx3 hyperoxidation, a modification that has been detected in vivo under physiological and pathological conditions.

Abstract
Red blood cells (RBCs) are exposed to both external and internal sources of oxidants that challenge their integrity and compromise their physiological function and supply of oxygen to tissues. Autoxidation of oxyhemoglobin is the main source of endogenous RBC oxidant production, yielding superoxide radical and then hydrogen peroxide. In addition, potent oxidants from other blood cells and the surrounding endothelium can reach the RBCs. Abundant and efficient enzymatic systems and low molecular weight antioxidants prevent most of the damage to the RBCs and also position the RBCs as a sink of vascular oxidants that allow the body to maintain a healthy circulatory system. Among the antioxidant enzymes, the thiol-dependent peroxidase peroxiredoxin 2, highly abundant in RBCs, is essential to keep the redox balance. A great part of the RBC antioxidant activity is supported by an active glucose metabolism that provides reducing power in the form of NADPH via the pentose phosphate pathway. There are several RBC defects and situations that generate oxidative stress conditions where the defense mechanisms are overwhelmed, and these include glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiencies (favism), hemoglobinopathies like sickle cell disease and thalassemia, as well as packed RBCs for transfusion that suffer from storage lesions. These oxidative stress-associated pathologies of the RBCs underline the relevance of redox balance in these anucleated cells that lack a mechanism of DNA-inducible antioxidant response and rely on a complex and robust network of antioxidant systems.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide, are formed when molecular oxygen obtains additional electrons, increasing its reactivity. While low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide are necessary for regulation of normal cellular signaling events, high concentrations can be toxic. To maintain this balance between beneficial and deleterious concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, cells utilize antioxidants. Our recent work supports a primary role for peroxiredoxin, thioredoxin, and thioredoxin reductase as the oxidant defense pathway used by insulin-producing pancreatic β-cells. These three players work in an antioxidant cycle based on disulfide exchange, with oxidized targets ultimately being reduced using electrons provided by NADPH. Peroxiredoxins also participate in hydrogen peroxide-based signaling through disulfide exchange with redox-regulated target proteins. This chapter will describe the catalytic mechanisms of thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase, and peroxiredoxin and provide an in-depth look at the roles these enzymes play in antioxidant defense pathways of insulin-secreting β-cells. Finally, we will evaluate the physiological relevance of peroxiredoxin-mediated hydrogen peroxide signaling as a regulator of β-cell function.

Abstract
Paracrine superoxide (O2•−) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) signaling critically depends on these substances' concentrations, half-lives and transport ranges in extracellular media. Here we estimated these parameters for the lumen of human capillaries, arterioles and arteries using reaction-diffusion-advection models. These models considered O2•− and H2O2 production by endothelial cells and uptake by erythrocytes and endothelial cells, O2•− dismutation, O2•− and H2O2 diffusion and advection by the blood flow. Results show that in this environment O2•− and H2O2 have half-lives <60. ms and <40. ms, respectively, the former determined by the plasma SOD3 activity, the latter by clearance by endothelial cells and erythrocytes. H2O2 concentrations do not exceed the 10 nM scale. Maximal O2•− concentrations near vessel walls exceed H2O2's several-fold when the latter results solely from O2•− dismutation. Cytosolic dismutation of inflowing O2•− may thus significantly contribute to H2O2 delivery to cells. O2•− concentrations near vessel walls decay to 50% of maximum 12 μm downstream from O2•− production sites. H2O2 concentrations in capillaries decay to 50% of maximum 22 μm (6.0 μm) downstream from O2•− (H2O2) production sites. Near arterioles' (arteries') walls, they decay by 50% within 6.0 μm (4. μm) of H2O2 production sites. However, they reach maximal values 50 μm (24 μm) downstream from O2•− production sites and decrease by 50% over 650 μm (500 μm). Arterial/olar endothelial cells might thus signal over a mm downstream through O2•−-derived H2O2, though this requires nM-sensitive H2O2 transduction mechanisms. Physiological local H2O2 concentrations in vasculature lumen are up to 10's of μM. H2O2 transport range in capillaries is just ≈20 μm. Faster blood flow in arteri(ol)es transports O2•−-derived H2O2 over 100's of μm Similar H2O2 abundances and distribution near arterioles' and arteries' walls, likewise for O2•−. Inflowing O2•− may significantly feed H2O2 to the cytosol of endothelial cells

Abstract
Protein self-assembly is a common feature in biology and is often required for a myriad of fundamental processes, such as enzyme activity, signal transduction, and transport of solutes across membranes, among others. There are several techniques to find and assess homo-oligomer formation in proteins. Naturally, all these methods have their limitations, meaning that at least two or more different approaches are needed to characterize a case study. Herein, we present a new method to study protein associations using intrinsic fluorescence lifetime with phasors. In this case, the method is applied to determine the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) of human peroxiredoxin 1 (hPrx1), an efficient cysteine-dependent peroxidase, that has a quaternary structure comprised of five head-to-tail homodimers non-covalently arranged in a decamer. The hPrx1 oligomeric state not only affects its activity but also its association with other proteins. The excited state lifetime of hPrx1 has distinct values at high and low concentrations, suggesting the presence of two different species. Phasor analysis of hPrx1 emission lifetime allowed for the identification and quantification of hPrx1 decamers, dimers, and their mixture at diverse protein concentrations. Using phasor algebra, we calculated the fraction of hPrx1 decamers at different concentrations and obtained KD (1.1 × 10-24 M4) and C0.5 (1.36 μM) values for the decamer-dimer equilibrium. The results were validated and compared with size exclusion chromatography. In addition, spectral phasors provided similar results despite the small differences in emission spectra as a function of hPrx1 concentration. The phasor approach was shown to be a highly sensitive and quantitative method to assess protein oligomerization and an attractive addition to the biophysicist's toolkit.

Abstract
Aim: Sessile serrated adenomas (SSAs) are premalignant lesions driven by the BRAFV600E mutation to give rise to colorectal cancers (CRCs). They are often missed during white light colonoscopy because of their subtle appearance. Previously, a fluorescently labeled 7mer peptide KCCFPAQ was shown to detect SSAs in vivo. We aim to identify the target of this peptide. Results: Peroxiredoxin-1 (Prdx1) was identified as the binding partner of the peptide ligand. In vitro binding assays and immunofluorescence staining of human colon specimens ex vivo supported this result. Prdx1 was overexpressed on the membrane of cells with the BRAFV600E mutation, and this effect was dependent on oxidative stress. RKO cells harboring the BRAFV600E mutation and human SSA specimens showed higher oxidative stress as well as elevated levels of Prdx1 on the cell membrane. Innovation and Conclusion: These results suggest that Prdx1 is overexpressed on the cell surface in the presence of oxidative stress and can serve as an imaging biomarker for in vivo detection of SSAs.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a key redox signaling molecule that selectively oxidizes cysteines on proteins. It can accomplish this even in the presence of highly efficient and abundant H2O2 scavengers, peroxiredoxins (Prdxs), as it is the Prdxs themselves that transfer oxidative equivalents to specific protein thiols on target proteins via their redox-relay functionality. The first evidence of a mammalian cytosolic Prdx-mediated redox-relay—Prdx1 with the kinase ASK1—was presented a decade ago based on the outcome of a co-immunoprecipitation experiment. A second such redox-relay—Prdx2:STAT3—soon followed, for which further studies provided insights into its specificity, organization, and mechanism. The Prdx1:ASK1 redox-relay, however, has never undergone such a characterization. Here, we combine cellular and in vitro protein–protein interaction methods to investigate the Prdx1:ASK1 interaction more thoroughly. We show that, contrary to the Prdx2:STAT3 redox-relay, Prdx1 interacts with ASK1 at elevated H2O2 concentrations, and that this interaction can happen independently of a scaffolding protein. We also provide evidence of a Prdx2:ASK1 interaction, and demonstrate that it requires a facilitator that, however, is not annexin A2. Our results reveal that cytosolic Prdx redox-relays can be organized in different ways and yet again highlight the differentiated roles of Prdx1 and Prdx2.

Abstract
Enhanced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) triggered by various stimuli, including viral infections, has attributed much attention in the past years. It has been shown that different viruses that cause acute or chronic diseases induce oxidative stress in infected cells and dysregulate antioxidant its antioxidant capacity. However, most studies focused on catalase and superoxide dismutases, whereas a family of peroxiredoxins (Prdx), the most effective peroxide scavengers, were given little or no attention. In the current review, we demonstrate that peroxiredoxins scavenge hydrogen and organic peroxides at their physiological concentrations at various cell compartments, unlike many other antioxidant enzymes, and discuss their recycling. We also provide data on the regulation of their expression by various transcription factors, as they can be compared with the imprint of viruses on transcriptional machinery. Next, we discuss the involvement of peroxiredoxins in transferring signals from ROS on specific proteins by promoting the oxidation of target cysteine groups, as well as briefly demonstrate evidence of nonenzymatic, chaperone, functions of Prdx. Finally, we give an account of the current state of research of peroxiredoxins for various viruses. These data clearly show that Prdx have not been given proper attention despite all the achievements in general redox biology.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxin 2 (Prdx2) is a thiol peroxidase with an active site Cys (C52) that reacts rapidly with H2O2 and other peroxides. The sulfenic acid product condenses with the resolving Cys (C172) to form a disulfide which is recycled by thioredoxin or GSH via mixed disulfide intermediates or undergoes hyperoxidation to the sulfinic acid. C172 lies near the C terminus, outside the active site. It is not established whether structural changes in this region, such as mixed disulfide formation, affect H2O2 reactivity. To investigate, we designed mutants to cause minimal (C172S) or substantial (C172D and C172W) structural disruption. Stopped flow kinetics and mass spectrometry showed that mutation to Ser had minimal effect on rates of oxidation and hyperoxidation, whereas Asp and Trp decreased both by ∼100-fold. To relate to structural changes, we solved the crystal structures of reduced WT and C172S Prdx2. The WT structure is highly similar to that of the published hyperoxidized form. C172S is closely related but more flexible and as demonstrated by size exclusion chromatography and analytical ultracentrifugation, a weaker decamer. Size exclusion chromatography and analytical ultracentrifugation showed that the C172D and C172W mutants are also weaker decamers than WT, and small-angle X-ray scattering analysis indicated greater flexibility with partially unstructured regions consistent with C-terminal unfolding. We propose that these structural changes around C172 negatively impact the active site geometry to decrease reactivity with H2O2. This is relevant for Prdx turnover as intermediate mixed disulfides with C172 would also be disruptive and could potentially react with peroxides before resolution is complete.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxin 2 (Prdx2) and other typical 2-Cys Prdxs function as homodimers in which hydrogen peroxide oxidizes each active site cysteine to a sulfenic acid which then condenses with the resolving cysteine on the alternate chain. Previous kinetic studies have considered both sites as equally reactive. Here we have studied Prdx2 using a combination of non-reducing SDS-PAGE to separate reduced monomers and dimers with one and two disulfide bonds, and stopped flow analysis of tryptophan fluorescence, to investigate whether there is cooperativity between the sites. We have observed positive cooperativity when H2O2 is added as a bolus and oxidation of the second site occurs while the first site is present as a sulfenic acid. Modelling of this reaction showed that the second site reacts 2.2 ± 0.1 times faster. In contrast, when H2O2 was generated slowly and the first active site condensed to a disulfide before the second site reacted, no cooperativity was evident. Conversion of the sulfenic acid to the disulfide showed negative cooperativity, with modelling of the exponential rise in tryptophan fluorescence yielding a rate constant of 0.75 ± 0.08 s-1 when the alternate active site was present as a sulfenic acid and 2.29 ± 0.08-fold lower when it was a disulfide. No difference in the rate of hyperoxidation at the two sites was detected. Our findings imply that oxidation of one active site affects the conformation of the second site and influences which intermediate forms of the protein are favored under different cellular conditions.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are antioxidant proteins that are involved in cellular defence against reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species. Humans have six peroxiredoxins, hPrxI-VI, out of which hPrxI and hPrxII belongs to the typical 2-Cys class sharing 90% conservation in their amino acid sequence including catalytic residues required to carry out their peroxidase and chaperone activities. Despite the high conservation between hPrxI and hPrxII, hPrxI behaves differently from hPrxII in its peroxidase and chaperone activity. We recently showed in yeast that in the absence of Tsa1 and Tsa2 (orthologs of hPrx) hPrxI protects the cells against different stressors whereas hPrxII does not. To understand this difference, we expressed catalytic mutants of hPrxI in yeast cells lacking the orthologs of hPrxI/II. We found that the catalytic mutants lacking peroxidase function including hPrxIC52S, hPrxIC173S, hPrxIT49A, hPrxIP45A and hPrxIR128A were not able to grow on media with nitrosative stressor (sodium nitroprusside) and unable to withstand heat stress, but surprisingly they were able to grow on an oxidative stressor (H2O2). Interestingly, we found that hPrxI increases the expression of antioxidant genes, GPX1 and SOD1, and this is also seen in the case of a catalytic mutant, indicating hPrxI can indirectly reduce oxidative stress independently of its own peroxidase function and thus suggesting a novel role of hPrxI in altering the expression of other antioxidant genes. Furthermore, hPrxIC83T was resistant to hyperoxidation and formation of stable high molecular weight oligomers, which is suggestive of impaired chaperone activity. Our results suggest that the catalytic residues of hPrxI are essential to counter the nitrosative stress whereas Cys83 in hPrxI plays a critical role in hyperoxidation of hPrxI.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injuries is based on oxidative stress caused by a sharp increase in the concentration of free radicals, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and secondary products of free radical oxidation of biological macromolecules during reperfusion. Application of exogenous antioxidants lowers the level of ROS in the affected tissues, suppresses or adjusts the course of oxidative stress, thereby substantially reducing the severity of I/R injury. We believe that the use of antioxidant enzymes may be the most promising line of effort since they possess higher efficiency than low molecular weight antioxidants. Among antioxidant enzymes, of great interest are peroxiredoxins (Prx1–6) which reduce a wide range of organic and inorganic peroxide substrates. In an animal model of bilateral I/R injury of kidneys (using histological, biochemical, and molecular biological methods) it was shown that intravenous administration of recombinant typical 2-Cys peroxiredoxins (Prx1 and Prx2) effectively reduces the severity of I/R damage, contributing to the normalization of the structural and functional state of the kidneys and an almost 2-fold increase in the survival of experimental animals. The use of recombinant Prx1 or Prx2 can be an efficient approach for the prevention and treatment of renal I/R injury.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins are most central to the cellular adaptation against oxidative stress. They act as oxidant scavengers, stress sensors, transmitters of signals, and chaperones, and they possess a unique quaternary switch that is intimately related to these functions. However, so far it has not been possible to monitor peroxiredoxin structural changes in the intact cellular environment. This study presents genetically encoded probes, based on homo-FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer between identical fluorophores) fluorescence polarization, that allow following these quaternary changes in real time, in living cells. We envisage that these probes can be used to address a broad range of questions related to the function of peroxiredoxins. Peroxiredoxins are central to cellular redox homeostasis and signaling. They serve as peroxide scavengers, sensors, signal transducers, and chaperones, depending on conditions and context. Typical 2-Cys peroxiredoxins are known to switch between different oligomeric states, depending on redox state, pH, posttranslational modifications, and other factors. Quaternary states and their changes are closely connected to peroxiredoxin activity and function but so far have been studied, almost exclusively, outside the context of the living cell. Here we introduce the use of homo-FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer between identical fluorophores) fluorescence polarization to monitor dynamic changes in peroxiredoxin quaternary structure inside the crowded environment of living cells. Using the approach, we confirm peroxide- and thioredoxin-related quaternary transitions to take place in cellulo and observe that the relationship between dimer–decamer transitions and intersubunit disulfide bond formation is more complex than previously thought. Furthermore, we demonstrate the use of the approach to compare different peroxiredoxin isoforms and to identify mutations and small molecules affecting the oligomeric state inside cells. Mutagenesis experiments reveal that the dimer–decamer equilibrium is delicately balanced and can be shifted by single-atom structural changes. We show how to use this insight to improve the design of peroxiredoxin-based redox biosensors.

Abstract
Hydroperoxide reduction in African trypanosomes relies on 2-Cys-peroxiredoxins (Prxs) and glutathione peroxidase-type enzymes (Pxs) which both obtain their reducing equivalents from the trypanothione/tryparedoxin couple and thus act as tryparedoxin peroxidases. While the cytosolic forms of the peroxidases are essential, the mitochondrial mPrx and Px III appear dispensable in bloodstream Trypanosoma brucei. This led to the suggestion that in this developmental stage which is characterized by a mitochondrion that lacks an active respiratory chain, only one of the two peroxidases might be required. Here we show that bloodstream cells in which the Px III gene is deleted and mPrx is down-regulated by RNA interference, proliferate as the parental cells indicating that both mitochondrial peroxidases are dispensable. However, when we raised the culture temperature to 39 °C, mPrx-depleted cells died indicating that under conditions mimicking a fever situation in the mammalian host, the protein becomes essential. In contrast, depletion of mPrx in insect stage procyclic T. brucei causes a proliferation defect under standard conditions at 27 °C, in the absence of any stress. In the absence of mPrx, a tryparedoxin-coupled roGFP2 biosensor expressed in the mitochondrial matrix is unable to respond to antimycin A treatment. Thus mPrx reduces mitochondrial H2O2 with the generation of trypanothione disulfide and acts as peroxidase. However, mPrx-depleted procyclic cells neither display any alteration in the cytosolic or mitochondrial trypanothione redox state nor increased sensitivity towards exogenous oxidative stressors suggesting that the peroxidase activity is not the crucial physiological function. After prolonged mPrx-depletion, the cells almost stop proliferation and display a highly elongated shape and diminished MitoTracker Red staining. In contrast to the situation in the mammalian bloodstream T. brucei and Leishmania, mPrx appears to play a constitutive role for the morphology, mitochondrial function and proliferation of the insect stage of African trypanosomes. In bloodstream T. brucei, both mitochondrial tryparedoxin peroxidases are dispensable. Heat-stressed bloodstream cells require the mitochondrial peroxiredoxin (mPrx). In procyclic (PC) T. brucei, mPrx plays a constitutive role for proliferation. Lack of mPrx affects the structure and mitochondrial membrane potential of PC cells.

Abstract
Both reactive nitrogen and oxygen species (RNS and ROS), such as nitric oxide, peroxynitrite, and hydrogen peroxide, have been implicated as mediators of pancreatic β-cell damage during the pathogenesis of autoimmune diabetes. While β-cells are thought to be vulnerable to oxidative damage due to reportedly low levels of antioxidant enzymes, such as catalase and glutathione peroxidase, we have shown that they use thioredoxin reductase to detoxify hydrogen peroxide. Thioredoxin reductase is an enzyme that participates in the peroxiredoxin antioxidant cycle. Peroxiredoxins are expressed in β-cells and, when overexpressed, protect against oxidative stress, but the endogenous roles of peroxiredoxins in the protection of β-cells from oxidative damage are unclear. Here, using either glucose oxidase or menadione to continuously deliver hydrogen peroxide, or the combination of dipropylenetriamine NONOate and menadione to continuously deliver peroxynitrite, we tested the hypothesis that β-cells use peroxiredoxins to detoxify both of these reactive species. Either pharmacological peroxiredoxin inhibition with conoidin A or specific depletion of cytoplasmic peroxiredoxin 1 (Prdx1) using siRNAs sensitizes INS 832/13 cells and rat islets to DNA damage and death induced by hydrogen peroxide or peroxynitrite. Interestingly, depletion of peroxiredoxin 2 (Prdx2) had no effect. Together, these results suggest that β-cells use cytoplasmic Prdx1 as a primary defense mechanism against both ROS and RNS.

Abstract
![]()
Peroxiredoxins from
the Prx1 subfamily (Prx) are moonlighting peroxidases
that operate in peroxide signaling and are regulated by sulfinylation.
Prxs offer a major model of protein–thiol oxidative modification.
They react with H2O2 to form a sulfenic acid
intermediate that either engages into a disulfide bond, committing
the enzyme into its peroxidase cycle, or again reacts with peroxide
to produce a sulfinic acid that inactivates the enzyme. Sensitivity
to sulfinylation depends on the kinetics of these two competing reactions
and is critically influenced by a structural transition from a fully
folded (FF) to locally unfolded (LU) conformation. Analysis of the
reaction of the Tsa1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae Prx with H2O2 by Trp fluorescence-based rapid
kinetics revealed a process linked to the FF/LU transition that is
kinetically distinct from disulfide formation and suggested that sulfenate
formation facilitates local unfolding. Use of mutants of distinctive
sensitivities and of different peroxide substrates showed that sulfinylation
sensitivity is not coupled to the resolving step kinetics but depends
only on the sulfenic acid oxidation and FF-to-LU transition rate constants.
In addition, stabilization of the active site FF conformation, the
determinant of sulfinylation kinetics, is only moderately influenced
by the Prx C-terminal tail dynamics that determine the FF →
LU kinetics. From these two parameters, the relative sensitivities
of Prxs toward hyperoxidation with different substrates can be predicted,
as confirmed by in vitro and in vivo patterns of sulfinylation.

Abstract
In this work, we employ a multiscale quantum-classical mechanics (QM/MM) scheme to investigate the chemical reactivity of sulfenic acids toward hydrogen peroxide, both in aqueous solution and in the protein environment of the peroxiredoxin alkyl hydroperoxide reductase E from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtAhpE). The reaction of oxidation of cysteine with hydrogen peroxides, catalyzed by peroxiredoxins, is usually accelerated several orders of magnitude in comparison with the analogous reaction in solution. The resulting cysteine sulfenic acid is then reduced in other steps of the catalytic cycle, recovering the original thiol. However, under some conditions, the sulfenic acid can react with another equivalent of oxidant to form a sulfinic acid. This process is called overoxidation and has been associated with redox signaling. Herein, we employed a multiscale scheme based on density function theory calculations coupled to the classical AMBER force field, developed in our group, to establish the molecular basis of thiol overoxidation by hydrogen peroxide. Our results suggest that residues that play key catalytic roles in the oxidation of MtAhpE are not relevant in the overoxidation process. Indeed, the calculations propose that the process is unfavored by this particular enzyme microenvironment.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide undergoes an equilibrium reaction with bicarbonate/CO2 to produce peroxymonocarbonate (HCO4-). Peroxymonocarbonate is more reactive with thiols than H2O2 but it makes up only a small fraction of the H2O2 in physiological bicarbonate buffers so the increase in rate of oxidation of low molecular weight thiols is modest. However, for some thiol proteins such as protein tyrosine phosphatases, the rate enhancement is very much greater. We have investigated the effect of bicarbonate/CO2 on the oxidation of peroxiredoxins (Prdxs) 2 and 3. Using an assay in which reduced Prdx2 inhibits oxidation of horseradish peroxidase by H2O2, we saw no difference between phosphate and bicarbonate buffers (pH 7.4). However, hyperoxidation of both Prdxs in bicarbonate was considerably enhanced. Hyperoxidation involves the reaction of the sulfenic acid formed at the active site with a second H2O2, and prevents its condensation to a disulfide. Using LC/MS analysis, we determined that the presence of 25 mM bicarbonate/CO2 increased the ratio of hyperoxidation compared with condensation 6-fold for Prdx2 and 11-fold for Prdx3. These results imply that Prdx hyperoxidation will occur more readily under physiological conditions than appreciated from in vitro experiments, which seldom use bicarbonate buffers. They also raise the possibility that variations in bicarbonate concentration could provide a mechanism for regulating the cellular level of active Prdxs.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can act as second messengers in various signaling pathways, and abnormal oxidation contributes to multiple diseases, including cancer. Detecting and quantifying protein oxidation is crucial for a detailed understanding of reduction-oxidation reaction (redox) signaling. We developed an Activated Thiol Sepharose-based proteomic (ATSP) approach to quantify reversible protein oxidation. ATSP can enrich H2O2-sensitive thiol peptides, which are more likely to contain reactive cysteines involved in redox signaling. We applied our approach to analyze hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC), a type of kidney cancer that harbors fumarate hydratase (FH)-inactivating mutations and has elevated ROS levels. Multiple proteins were oxidized in FH-deficient cells, including many metabolic proteins such as the pyruvate kinase M2 isoform (PKM2). Treatment of HLRCC cells with dimethyl fumarate or PKM2 activators altered PKM2 oxidation levels. Finally, we found that ATSP could detect Src homology region 2 domain-containing phosphatase-2 and PKM2 oxidation in cells stimulated with platelet-derived growth factor. This newly developed redox proteomics workflow can detect reversible oxidation of reactive cysteines and can be employed to analyze multiple physiologic and pathologic conditions.-Xu, Y., Andrade, J., Ueberheide, B., Neel, B.

Abstract
Life on Earth evolved in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, and other peroxides also emerged before and with the rise of aerobic metabolism. They were considered only as toxic byproducts for many years. Nowadays, peroxides are also regarded as metabolic products that play essential physiological cellular roles. Organisms have developed efficient mechanisms to metabolize peroxides, mostly based on two kinds of redox chemistry, catalases/peroxidases that depend on the heme prosthetic group to afford peroxide reduction and thiol-based peroxidases that support their redox activities on specialized fast reacting cysteine/selenocysteine (Cys/Sec) residues. Among the last group, glutathione peroxidases (GPxs) and peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are the most widespread and abundant families, and they are the leitmotif of this review. After presenting the properties and roles of different peroxides in biology, we discuss the chemical mechanisms of peroxide reduction by low molecular weight thiols, Prxs, GPxs, and other thiol-based peroxidases. Special attention is paid to the catalytic properties of Prxs and also to the importance and comparative outlook of the properties of Sec and its role in GPxs. To finish, we describe and discuss the current views on the activities of thiol-based peroxidases in peroxide-mediated redox signaling processes.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (Prx) are enzymes that efficiently reduce hydroperoxides through active participation of cysteine residues (CP, CR). The first step in catalysis, the reduction of peroxide substrate, is fast, 107 - 108 M-1s-1 for human Prx2. In addition, the high intracellular concentration of Prx positions them not only as good antioxidants but also as central players in redox signaling pathways. These biological functions can be affected by post-translational modifications that could alter the peroxidase activity and/or interaction with other proteins. In particular, inactivation by hyperoxidation of CP, which occurs when a second molecule of peroxide reacts with the CP in the sulfenic acid form, modulates their participation in redox signaling pathways. The higher sensitivity to hyperoxidation of some Prx has been related to the presence of structural motifs that disfavor disulfide formation at the active site, making the CP sulfenic acid more available for hyperoxidation or interaction with a redox protein target. We previously reported that treatment of human Prx2 with peroxynitrite results in tyrosine nitration, a post-translational modification on non-catalytic residues, yielding a more active peroxidase with higher resistance to hyperoxidation. In this work, studies on various mutants of hPrx2 confirm that the presence of the tyrosyl side-chain of Y193, belonging to the C-terminal YF motif of eukaryotic Prx, is necessary to observe the increase in Prx2 resistance to hyperoxidation. Moreover, our results underline the critical role of this structural motif on the rate of disulfide formation that determines the differential participation of Prx in redox signaling pathways.

Abstract
2-Cys peroxiredoxins (Prxs) rapidly reduce H2O2, thereby acting as antioxidants and also as sensors and transmitters of H2O2 signals in cells. Interestingly, eukaryotic 2-Cys Prxs lose their peroxidase activity at high H2O2 levels. Under these conditions, H2O2 oxidizes the sulfenic acid derivative of the Prx peroxidatic Cys (CPSOH) to the sulfinate (CPSO2 -) and sulfonated (CPSO3 -) forms, redirecting the CPSOH intermediate from the catalytic cycle to the hyperoxidation/inactivation pathway. The susceptibility of 2-Cys Prxs to hyperoxidation varies greatly and depends on structural features that affect the lifetime of the CPSOH intermediate. Among the human Prxs, Prx1 has an intermediate susceptibility to H2O2 and was selected here to investigate the effect of a physiological concentration of HCO3 -/CO2 (25 mm) on its hyperoxidation. Immunoblotting and kinetic and MS/MS experiments revealed that HCO3 -/CO2 increases Prx1 hyperoxidation and inactivation both in the presence of excess H2O2 and during enzymatic (NADPH/thioredoxin reductase/thioredoxin) and chemical (DTT) turnover. We hypothesized that the stimulating effect of HCO3 -/CO2 was due to HCO4 -, a peroxide present in equilibrated solutions of H2O2 and HCO3 -/CO2 Indeed, additional experiments and calculations uncovered that HCO4 - oxidizes CPSOH to CPSO2 - with a second-order rate constant 2 orders of magnitude higher than that of H2O2 ((1.5 ± 0.1) × 105 and (2.9 ± 0.2) × 103 m-1·s-1, respectively) and that HCO4 - is 250 times more efficient than H2O2 at inactivating 1% Prx1 per turnover. The fact that the biologically ubiquitous HCO3 -/CO2 pair stimulates Prx1 hyperoxidation and inactivation bears relevance to Prx1 functions beyond its antioxidant activity.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs), a family of peroxidases, are reactive oxygen species scavengers that hydrolyze H2O2 through catalytic cysteine. Mammalian Prxs comprise six isoforms (typical 2-Cys Prxs; Prx1–4, atypical 2-Cys Prx; Prx5, and 1-Cys Prx; Prx6) that are distributed over various cellular compartments as they are classified according to the position and number of conserved cysteine. 2-Cys Prx1 and Prx2 are abundant proteins that are ubiquitously expressed mainly in the cytosol, and over 90% of their amino acid sequences are homologous. Prx1 and Prx2 protect cells from ROS-mediated oxidative stress through the elimination of H2O2 and regulate cellular signaling through redox-dependent mechanism. In addition, Prx1 and Prx2 are able to bind to a diversity of interaction partners to regulate other various cellular processes in cancer (i.e., regulation of the protein redox status, cell growth, apoptosis, and tumorigenesis). Thus, Prx1 and Prx2 can be potential therapeutic targets and it is particularly important to control their level or activity. This review focuses on cytosolic 2-Cys Prx1 and Prx2 and their role in the regulation of redox signaling based on protein-protein interaction.
