Abstract
TXNL1 (also named TRP32, for thioredoxin related protein of 32 kDa) is a cytosolic thioredoxin-fold protein expressed in all cell types and conserved from yeast to mammals, but with yet poorly known function. Here, we expressed and purified human TXNL1 together with several Cys-to-Ser variants, characterizing their enzymatic properties. TXNL1 could reduce disulfides in insulin, cystine and glutathione disulfide (GSSG) in reactions coupled to thioredoxin reductase (TXNRD1, TrxR1) using NADPH, similarly to thioredoxin (TXN, Trx1), but with lower catalytic efficacy due to at least one order of magnitude higher Km of TrxR1 for TXNL1 compared to Trx1. However, in sharp contrast to Trx1, we found that TXNL1 also had efficient chaperone activity that did not require ATP. TXNL1 made non-covalent complexes with reduced insulin, thereby keeping it in solution, and TXNL1 provided chaperone function towards whole cell lysate proteins by preventing their aggregation during heating. The chaperone activities of TXNL1 did not require its redox activity or any dithiol-disulfide exchange reactions, as revealed using Cys-to-Ser substituted variants, as well as a maintained chaperone activity of TXNL1 also in the absence of TrxR1 and NADPH. These results reveal that TXNL1 has dual functions, supporting TrxR1-driven redox activities in disulfide reduction reactions, as well as being an ATP-independent chaperone that does not require involvement of its redox activity.

Abstract
Thioredoxin-like protein-1 (TXNL1) is the member of thioredoxin superfamily, a family of thiol oxidoreductases. TXNL1 plays an important role in scavenging ROS and the maintenance of cellular redox balance. However, its physiological functions in Andrias davidianus have not been well understood. In the present study, the full-length cDNA encoding thioredoxin-like protein-1 (AdTXNL1) of A. davidianus was cloned, the mRNA tissue distribution was analyzed, and the function was characterized. The Adtxnl1 cDNA contained an open reading frame (ORF) of 870 bp encoding a polypeptide of 289 amino acids with the N-terminal TRX domain, a Cys34-Ala35-Pro36-Cys37 (CAPC) motif, and the C-terminal proteasome-interacting thioredoxin domain (PITH). The mRNA of AdTXNL1 was expressed in a wide range of tissues, with the highest level in the liver. The transcript level of AdTXNL1 was significantly up-regulated post Aeromonas hydrophila challenge in liver tissue. Moreover, the recombinant AdTXNL1 protein was produced and purified, and used to investigate the antioxidant activity. In the insulin disulfide reduction assay, rAdTXNL1 exhibited strong antioxidant capability. Altogether, the thioredoxin-like protein-1 may be involved in reduction/oxidation (redox) balance and as an important immunological gene in A. davidianus.

Abstract
Proteins become S-glutathionylated as a result of the derivatization of their cysteine thiols with the thiolate anion derivative of glutathione; this process is frequently linked to diseases and protein misbehavior. Along with the other well-known oxidative modifications like S-nitrosylation, S-glutathionylation has quickly emerged as a major contributor to a number of diseases, with a focus on neurodegeneration. The immense clinical significance of S-glutathionylation in cell signaling and the genesis of diseases are progressively coming to light with advanced research, which is also creating new opportunities for prompt diagnostics that utilize this phenomenon. In-depth investigation in recent years has revealed other significant deglutathionylases in addition to glutaredoxin, necessitating the hunt for their specific substrates. The precise catalytic mechanisms of these enzymes must also be understood, along with how the intracellular environment affects their impact on protein conformation and function. These insights must then be extrapolated to the understanding of neurodegeneration and the introduction of novel and clever therapeutic approaches to clinics. Clarifying the importance of the functional overlap of glutaredoxin and other deglutathionylases and examining their complementary functions as defense systems in the face of stress are essential prerequisites for predicting and promoting cell survival under high oxidative/nitrosative stress.

Abstract
S-nitrosylation of proteins occurs as a consequence of the derivatization of cysteine thiols with nitric oxide (NO) and is often associated with diseases and protein malfunction. Aberrant S-nitrosylation, in addition to other genetic and epigenetic factors, has gained rapid importance as a prime cause of various metabolic, respiratory, and cardiac disorders, with a major emphasis on cancer and neurodegeneration. The S-nitrosoproteome, a term used to collectively refer to the diverse and dynamic repertoire of S-nitrosylated proteins, is relatively less explored in the field of redox biochemistry, in contrast to other covalently modified versions of the same set of proteins. Advancing research is gradually unveiling the enormous clinical importance of S-nitrosylation in the etiology of diseases and is opening up new avenues of prompt diagnosis that harness this phenomenon. Ever since the discovery of the two robust and highly conserved S-nitrosoglutathione reductase and thioredoxin systems as candidate denitrosylases, years of rampant speculation centered around the identification of specific substrates and other candidate denitrosylases, subcellular localization of both substrates and denitrosylases, the position of susceptible thiols, mechanisms of S-denitrosylation under basal and stimulus-dependent conditions, impact on protein conformation and function, and extrapolating these findings towards the understanding of diseases, aging and the development of novel therapeutic strategies. However, newer insights in the ever-expanding field of redox biology reveal distinct gaps in exploring the crucial crosstalk between the redoxins/major denitrosylase systems. Clarifying the importance of the functional overlap of the glutaredoxin, glutathione, and thioredoxin systems and examining their complementary functions as denitrosylases and antioxidant enzymatic defense systems are essential prerequisites for devising a rationale that could aid in predicting the extent of cell survival under high oxidative/nitrosative stress while taking into account the existence of the alternative and compensatory regulatory mechanisms. This review thus attempts to highlight major gaps in our understanding of the robust cellular redox regulation system, which is upheld by the concerted efforts of various denitrosylases and antioxidants.

Abstract
Thioredoxin-like protein-1 (TXNL1; also known as thioredoxin-related 32 kDa protein, TRP32) is a thioredoxin involved in the regulation of oxidative stress, which protects cells from damage through redox balance. Studies have shown that TXNL1 has a variety of functions, including cell signal transduction, cell cycle regulation, protein synthesis, modification and degradation, vesicle transport, transcriptional regulation, cell apoptosis, virus replication and oxidative stress regulation, etc., and plays an important role in the occurrence and development of human diseases. Therefore, TXNL1 has a strong correlation with the treatment of cancer and oxidative stress diseases. In this paper, the basic structure, function and potential application value of TXNL1 in diseases are reviewed, so as to open up new targets for the treatment of cancer and oxidative stress-related diseases.

Abstract
Streszczenie
Działanie wielu czynników egzogennych, a także zaburzone procesy metaboliczne komórek przyczyniają się do nasilonego wytwarzania oksydantów, a to zaburza równowagę redoks, wywołując zmiany metaboliczne, w tym śmierci lub transformacji nowotworowej komórek. Jednak każda komórka zawiera antyoksydanty, które mają zapobiegać tego typu sytuacjom. Jednym z układów antyoksydacyjnych, funkcjonujących w komórkach, jest układ zależny od tioredoksyny, w skład którego wchodzą: tioredoksyna (Trx), reduktaza tioredoksyny (TrxR) oraz peroksydaza tioredoksyny (TPx), które mogą redukować utlenione składniki komórek kosztem fosforanu dinukleotydu nikotynoamidoadeninowego (NADPH). Działanie takie wynika z budowy przestrzennej Trx oraz TrxR, która umożliwia wytworzenie wewnątrzcząsteczkowego mostka disulfidowego w obrębie cząsteczki tioredoksyny oraz dwóch międzycząsteczkowych mostków selenosulfidowych w obrębie dimeru reduktazy tioredoksyny. Inną, równie istotną funkcją układu zależnego od tioredoksyny jest regulowanie ekspresji wielu białek za pośrednictwem takich czynników jak czynnik transkrypcyjnego NF-κB oraz kinaza regulująca apoptozę (ASK-1), które uruchamiają kaskady przemian metabolicznych prowadzących ostatecznie do proliferacji lub apoptozy komórek. Wzrost ekspresji/aktywności składników systemu zależnego od Trx obserwuje się w rozwoju wielu nowotworów. Dlatego też poszukiwanie selektywnych inhibitorów tioredoksyny lub reduktazy tioredoksyny jest obecnie jednym z głównych kierunków badań w farmakoterapii nowotworów. Wykazano, że wiele naturalnie występujących związków polifenolowych pochodzenia naturalnego o działaniu antyoksydacyjnym (np. kwercetyna czy kurkumina) powoduje inaktywację układu Trx-TrxR. Jednocześnie wiele syntetycznych związków, w tym związki kompleksowe, które stosowane są w terapii przeciwnowotworowej (np. cisplatyna, auranofina, moteksafina gadolinu), również hamują działanie układu zależnego od Trx.

Abstract
Many viral proteins are related to suppressing apoptosis in target cells and are hence beneficial to viral replication. The V protein of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is one such protein that plays an important role in inhibiting apoptosis in a species-specific manner. However, to date, there have been no reports clarifying the antiapoptotic mechanisms of the V protein. The present study was undertaken to determine the apoptotic potential of the V protein in a chicken embryo fibroblast cell line (DF-1 cell) and to elucidate its molecular mechanisms of action. Here, a yeast two-hybrid system was used to screen the host proteins that interact with the V protein and identified thioredoxin-like protein 1 (TXNL1) as a potential binding partner. Immuno-colocalization of V protein and TXNL1 protein in DF-1 cells further verified the interaction of the two proteins. Through the overexpression of TXNL1 protein and knockdown of TXNL1 protein in DF-1 cells, the effects of NDV replication and cell apoptosis were examined. Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The mRNA and protein expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR) and Western blotting. NDV expression was detected by Q-PCR and plaque assay. The results revealed that the TXNL1 protein induced apoptosis and inhibited NDV replication in DF-1 cells. Furthermore, the Western blot and Q-PCR results suggested that TXNL1 induced cell apoptosis through a pathway involving Bcl-2\Bax and Caspase-3. Finally, this work provides insight into the mechanism by which the V protein inhibits apoptosis.

Abstract
Thioredoxin is a highly conserved protein found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in response to metabolic processes, radiation, metal oxidation, and pathological infections. High levels of ROS lead to cell death via autophagy. However, thioredoxin acts as an active regulatory enzyme in response to excessive ROS. Here, we performed in-silico analysis, immune challenge experiments, and functional assays of seahorse thioredoxin-like protein 1 (ShTXNL1). Evolutionary identification showed that ShTXNL1 protein belongs to the thioredoxin superfamily comprising 289 amino acids. It possesses an N-terminal active thioredoxin domain and C-terminal proteasome-interacting thioredoxin domain (PITH) of ShTXNL1 which is a component of 26S proteasome and binds to the matrix or cell. Pairwise alignment results showed 99.0% identity and 99.7% similarity with the sequence of Hippocampus species. Conserved thiol-disulfide cysteine residue containing Cys-X-X-Cys motif may be found in the first few amino acids in the second beta sheet starting from the N-terminus. This motif can be discovered in ShTXNL1 as 14CRPC17 and comprised two N-linked glycosylation sites at 72NISA75 and 139NESD142. According to the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis from healthy seahorses, highest ShTXNL1 mRNA expression was observed in muscle, followed by ovary, brain, gill, and blood tissues. Moreover, significant temporal expression of ShTXNL1 was observed in gill and blood tissues after bacterial stimuli. Thus, the ShTXNL1 gene may be identified as an immunologically important gene in seahorse.

Abstract
PRL family constitutes a unique class of phosphatases associated with metastasis. The phosphatase activity of PRL has been reported to be important for promoting metastasis, and it is inactivated by reversible oxidation of its catalytic cysteine. Here, we show that TRP32 specifically reduces PRL. Reduction of oxidized PRL in cells is inhibited by 2,4-dinitro-1-chlorobenzene, an inhibitor of TRX reductase. In vitro assays for the reduction of PRL show that only TRP32 can potently reduce oxidized PRL, whereas other TRX-related proteins linked to TRX reductase show little or no reducing activity. Indeed, TRP32 knockdown significantly prolongs the H2O2-induced oxidation of PRL. Binding analyses reveal that the unique C-terminal domain of TRP32 is required and sufficient for its direct interaction with PRL. These results suggest that TRP32 maintains the reduced state of PRL and thus regulates the biological function of PRL.

Abstract
The 26S proteasome is a large proteolytic particle present in the cytosol and nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Most intracellular proteins, including those affected by oxidative damage, are degraded by the proteasome. The human thioredoxin, Txnl1, is known to associate with the 26S proteasome and thereby equips proteasomes with redox capabilities. Here, we characterize the fission yeast orthologue of Txnl1, called Txl1. Txl1 associates with the 26S proteasome via its C-terminal domain. This domain is also found in the uncharacterized protein, Txc1, which was also found to interact with 26S proteasomes. A txl1 null mutant, but not a txc1 null, displayed a synthetic growth defect with cut8, encoding a protein that tethers the proteasome to the nuclear membrane. Txc1 is present throughout the cytoplasm and nucleus, whereas Txl1 co-localizes with 26S proteasomes in both wild-type cells and in cut8 mutants, indicating that Txl1 is tightly associated with 26S proteasomes, while Txc1 might be only transiently bound to the complex. Finally, we show that Txl1 is an active thioredoxin. Accordingly, Txl1 was able to reduce and mediate the degradation of an oxidized model proteasome substrate in vitro. Thus, Txl1 and Txc1 are proteasome co-factors connected with oxidative stress.
