Veal EA, Kritsiligkou P. How are hydrogen peroxide messages relayed to affect cell signalling? Curr Opin Chem Biol 2024; 81:102496.

Abstract
H2O2 signals trigger adaptive responses affecting cell division, differentiation, migration, and survival. These signals are transduced by selective oxidation of cysteines on specific target proteins, with redox-sensitive cysteines now identified in many proteins, including both kinases and phosphatases. Assessing the contribution of these oxidation events to cell signalling presents several challenges including understanding how and when the selective oxidation of specific proteins takes place in vivo. In recent years, a combination of biochemical, structural, genetic, and computational approaches in fungi, plants, and animals have revealed different ways in which thiol peroxidases (peroxiredoxins) are bypassed or utilised in relaying these signals. Together, these mechanisms provide a conceptual framework for selectively oxidising proteins that will further advance understanding of how redox modifications contribute to health and disease.

Microorganisms 2024; 12:1180. [PMID: 38930562 PMCID: PMC11205728 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12061180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum biovar Gallinarum (SG) causes fowl typhoid, a notifiable infectious disease in poultry. However, the pathogenic mechanism of SG-induced systemic infection in chickens remains unclear. Thioredoxin reductase (TrxB) is a redox protein crucial for regulating various enzyme activities in Salmonella serovar, but the role in SG-induced chicken systemic infection has yet to be determined. Here, we constructed a mutant SG strain lacking the trxB gene (trxB::Cm) and used chicken embryo inoculation and chicken oral infection to investigate the role of trxB gene in the pathogenicity of SG. Our results showed that trxB::Cm exhibited no apparent differences in colony morphology and growth conditions but exhibited reduced tolerance to H2O2 and increased resistance to bile acids. In the chicken embryo inoculation model, there was no significant difference in the pathogenicity of trxB::Cm and wild-type (WT) strains. In the chicken oral infection, the WT-infected group exhibited typical clinical symptoms of fowl typhoid, with complete mortality between days 6 and 9 post infection. In contrast, the trxB::Cm group showed a 100% survival rate, with no apparent clinical symptoms or pathological changes observed. The viable bacterial counts in the liver and spleen of the trxB::Cm-infected group were significantly reduced, accompanied by decreased expression of cytokines and chemokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12, CXCLi1, TNF-α, and IFN-γ), which were significantly lower than those in the WT group. These results show that the pathogenicity of the trxB-deficient strain was significantly attenuated, indicating that the trxB gene is a crucial virulence factor in SG-induced systemic infection in chickens, suggesting that trxB may become a potentially effective target for controlling and preventing SG infection in chickens.

Abstract
A critical feature of the cellular antioxidant response is the induction of gene expression by redox-sensitive transcription factors. In many cells, activating these transcription factors is a dynamic process involving multiple redox steps, but it is unclear how these dynamics should be measured. Here, we show how the dynamic profile of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Pap1 transcription factor is quantifiable by three parameters: signal amplitude, signal time and signal duration. In response to increasing hydrogen peroxide concentrations, the Pap1 amplitude decreased while the signal time and duration showed saturable increases. In co-response plots, these parameters showed a complex, non-linear relationship to the mRNA levels of four Pap1-regulated genes. We also demonstrate that hydrogen peroxide and tert-butyl hydroperoxide trigger quantifiably distinct Pap1 activation profiles and transcriptional responses. Based on these findings, we propose that different oxidants and oxidant concentrations modulate the Pap1 dynamic profile, leading to specific transcriptional responses. We further show how the effect of combination and pre-exposure stresses on Pap1 activation dynamics can be quantified using this approach. This method is therefore a valuable addition to the redox signalling toolbox that may illuminate the role of dynamics in determining appropriate responses to oxidative stress.

Abstract
Oxidative stress from excess H2O2 activates transcription factors that restore redox balance and repair oxidative damage. Although many transcription factors are activated by H2O2, it is unclear whether they are activated at the same H2O2 concentration, or time. Dose-dependent activation is likely as oxidative stress is not a singular state and exhibits dose-dependent outcomes including cell-cycle arrest and cell death. Here, we show that transcription factor activation is both dose-dependent and coordinated over time. Low levels of H2O2 activate p53, NRF2 and JUN. Yet under high H2O2, these transcription factors are repressed, and FOXO1, NF-κB, and NFAT1 are activated. Time-lapse imaging revealed that the order in which these two groups of transcription factors are activated depends on whether H2O2 is administered acutely by bolus addition, or continuously through the glucose oxidase enzyme. Finally, we provide evidence that 2-Cys peroxiredoxins control which group of transcription factors are activated.

Abstract
Thioredoxin (Trx) is a compact redox-regulatory protein that modulates cellular redox state by reducing oxidized proteins. Trx exhibits dual functionality as an antioxidant and a cofactor for diverse enzymes and transcription factors, thereby exerting influence over their activity and function. Trx has emerged as a pivotal biomarker for various diseases, particularly those associated with oxidative stress, inflammation, and aging. Recent clinical investigations have underscored the significance of Trx in disease diagnosis, treatment, and mechanistic elucidation. Despite its paramount importance, the intricate interplay between Trx and cellular senescence-a condition characterized by irreversible growth arrest induced by multiple aging stimuli-remains inadequately understood. In this review, our objective is to present a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the structure and function of Trx, its involvement in redox signaling pathways and cellular senescence, its association with aging and age-related diseases, as well as its potential as a therapeutic target. Our review aims to elucidate the novel and extensive role of Trx in senescence while highlighting its implications for aging and age-related diseases.

Abstract
The recently observed circadian oscillations of the intestinal microbiota underscore the profound nature of the human-microbiome relationship and its importance for health. Together with the discovery of circadian clocks in non-photosynthetic gut bacteria and circadian rhythms in anucleated cells, these findings have indicated the possibility that virtually all microorganisms may possess functional biological clocks. However, they have also raised many essential questions concerning the fundamentals of biological timekeeping, its evolution, and its origin. This narrative review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent literature in molecular chronobiology, aiming to bring together the latest evidence on the structure and mechanisms driving microbial biological clocks while pointing to potential applications of this knowledge in medicine. Moreover, it discusses the latest hypotheses regarding the evolution of timing mechanisms and describes the functions of peroxiredoxins in cells and their contribution to the cellular clockwork. The diversity of biological clocks among various human-associated microorganisms and the role of transcriptional and post-translational timekeeping mechanisms are also addressed. Finally, recent evidence on metabolic oscillators and host-microbiome communication is presented.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (Prdxs) utilize reversibly oxidized cysteine residues to reduce peroxides and promote H2O2 signal transduction, including H2O2-induced activation of P38 MAPK. Prdxs form H2O2-induced disulfide complexes with many proteins, including multiple kinases involved in P38 MAPK signaling. Here, we show that a genetically encoded fusion between a Prdx and P38 MAPK is sufficient to hyperactivate the kinase in yeast and human cells by a mechanism that does not require the H2O2-sensing cysteine of the Prdx. We demonstrate that a P38-Prdx fusion protein compensates for loss of the yeast scaffold protein Mcs4 and MAP3K activity, driving yeast into mitosis. Based on our findings, we propose that the H2O2-induced formation of Prdx-MAPK disulfide complexes provides an alternative scaffold and signaling platform for MAPKK-MAPK signaling. The demonstration that formation of a complex with a Prdx is sufficient to modify the activity of a kinase has broad implications for peroxide-based signal transduction in eukaryotes.

Abstract
Armillaria sp. 541, a genus of root-infecting fungi, forms a symbiosis with traditional Chinese medicine Gastrodia elata (Orchid) and Polyporus umbellatus via extensive networks of durable rhizomorphs. It is not clear the hallmarks of comparative transcriptome between the rhizomorphs and hyphae of Armillaria sp. 541. In the present study, transcriptomic analysis of Armillaria sp. 541 identified 475 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between Armillaria rhizomorphs (AR) and hyphae (AH). Of them, 285 genes were upregulated and 190 were downregulated. Bioinformatics analyses and tests demonstrated DEGs involved in oxidoreductase activity and peptidoglycan binding were significantly enriched in this process when rhizomorph formed from hyphae. We accordingly obtained 14 gene-encoding proteins containing the LysM domain, and further consensus pattern and phylogenetic analysis indicated that their amino acid sequences were conserved and their biological functions may be peptidoglycan binding for recognition between the fungus and host. Among these genes, one, named Armillaria LysM domain recognition gene (aLDRG), was expressed significantly when rhizomorphs were differentiated from hyphae. It was located in the cortical cells of the rhizomorph by in situ hybridization. Furthermore, biolayer interferometry (BLI) assay demonstrated that aLDRG can bind specifically to chitin oligosaccharide of the fungal cell wall, including N,N',N″-Triacetylchitotriose (CO3) and N,N',N″,N'″,N″″-Pentaacetylchitopentaose (CO5). Therefore, we deduced that Armillaria sp. 541 expressed higher levels of LysM protein aLDRG for better binding of oligosaccharide after rhizomorphs were generated. This study provides functional genes for further studies on the interaction between Armillaria sp. 541 and its host.

Abstract
The p53 and FOXO transcription factors (TFs) share many similarities despite their distinct evolutionary origins. Both TFs are activated by a variety of cellular stresses and upregulate genes in similar pathways including cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. Oxidative stress from excess H2O2 activates both FOXO1 and p53, yet whether they are activated at the same time is unclear. Here we found that cells respond to high H2O2 levels in two temporal phases. In the first phase FOXO1 rapidly shuttles to the nucleus while p53 levels remain low. In the second phase FOXO1 exits the nucleus and p53 levels rise. We found that other oxidative stress induced TFs are activated in the first phase with FOXO1 (NF-κB, NFAT1), or the second phase with p53 (NRF2, JUN) but not both following H2O2 stress. The two TF phases result in large differences in gene expression patterns. Finally, we provide evidence that 2-Cys peroxiredoxins control the timing of the TF phases in response to H2O2.

Abstract
Fungal response to any stress is intricate, specific, and multilayered, though it employs only a few evolutionarily conserved regulators. This comes with the assumption that one regulator operates more than one stress-specific response. Although the assumption holds true, the current understanding of molecular mechanisms that drive response specificity and adequacy remains rudimentary. Deciphering the response of fungi to oxidative stress may help fill those knowledge gaps since it is one of the most encountered stress types in any kind of fungal niche. Data have been accumulating on the roles of the HOG pathway and Yap1- and Skn7-related pathways in mounting distinct and robust responses in fungi upon exposure to oxidative stress. Herein, we review recent and most relevant studies reporting the contribution of each of these pathways in response to oxidative stress in pathogenic and opportunistic fungi after giving a paralleled overview in two divergent models, the budding and fission yeasts. With the concept of stress-specific response and the importance of reactive oxygen species in fungal development, we first present a preface on the expanding domain of redox biology and oxidative stress.

Abstract
NADPH provides the reducing power for decomposition of reactive oxygen species (ROS), making it an indispensable part during ROS defense. It remains uncertain, however, if living cells respond to the ROS challenge with an elevated intracellular NADPH level or a more complex NADPH-mediated manner. Herein, we employed a model fungus Aspergillus nidulans to probe this issue. A conditional expression of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)-strain was constructed to manipulate intracellular NADPH levels. As expected, turning down the cellular NADPH concentration drastically lowered the ROS response of the strain; it was interesting to note that increasing NADPH levels also impaired fungal H2O2 resistance. Further analysis showed that excess NADPH promoted the assembly of the CCAAT-binding factor AnCF, which in turn suppressed NapA, a transcriptional activator of PrxA (the key NADPH-dependent ROS scavenger), leading to low antioxidant ability. In natural cell response to oxidative stress, we noticed that the intracellular NADPH level fluctuated "down then up" in the presence of H2O2. This might be the result of a co-action of the PrxA-dependent NADPH consumption and NADPH-dependent feedback of G6PD. The fluctuation of NADPH is well correlated to the formation of AnCF assembly and expression of NapA, thus modulating the ROS defense. Our research elucidated how A. nidulans precisely controls NADPH levels for ROS defense.

Tairum CA, Santos MC, Breyer CA, de Oliveira ALP, Cabrera VIM, Toledo-Silva G, Mori GM, Toyama MH, Netto LES, de Oliveira MA. Effects of Serine or Threonine in the Active Site of Typical 2-Cys Prx on Hyperoxidation Susceptibility and on Chaperone Activity. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:1032. [PMID: 34202406 PMCID: PMC8300647 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10071032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2021] [Revised: 06/02/2021] [Accepted: 06/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Typical 2-Cys peroxiredoxins (2-Cys Prx) are ubiquitous Cys-based peroxidases, which are stable as decamers in the reduced state, and may dissociate into dimers upon disulfide bond formation. A peroxidatic Cys (CP) takes part of a catalytic triad, together with a Thr/Ser and an Arg. Previously, we described that the presence of Ser (instead of Thr) in the active site stabilizes yeast 2-Cys Prx as decamers. Here, we compared the hyperoxidation susceptibilities of yeast 2-Cys Prx. Notably, 2-Cys Prx containing Ser (named here Ser-Prx) were more resistant to hyperoxidation than enzymes containing Thr (Thr-Prx). In silico analysis revealed that Thr-Prx are more frequent in all domains of life, while Ser-Prx are more abundant in bacteria. As yeast 2-Cys Prx, bacterial Ser-Prx are more stable as decamers than Thr-Prx. However, bacterial Ser-Prx were only slightly more resistant to hyperoxidation than Thr-Prx. Furthermore, in all cases, organic hydroperoxide inhibited more the peroxidase activities of 2-Cys Prx than hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, bacterial Ser-Prx displayed increased thermal resistance and chaperone activity, which may be related with its enhanced stability as decamers compared to Thr-Prx. Therefore, the single substitution of Thr by Ser in the catalytic triad results in profound biochemical and structural differences in 2-Cys Prx.

Abstract
Redox cycles have been reported in ultradian, circadian and cell cycle-synchronized systems. Redox cycles persist in the absence of transcription and cyclin-CDK activity, indicating that cells harbor multiple coupled oscillators. Nonetheless, the causal relationships and molecular mechanisms by which redox cycles are embedded within ultradian, circadian or cell division cycles remain largely elusive. Yeast harbor an ultradian oscillator, the yeast metabolic cycle (YMC), which comprises metabolic/redox cycles, transcriptional cycles and synchronized cell division. Here, we reveal the existence of robust cycling of H2O2 and peroxiredoxin oxidation during the YMC and show that peroxiredoxin inactivation disrupts metabolic cycling and abolishes coupling with cell division. We find that thiol-disulfide oxidants and reductants predictably modulate the switching between different YMC metabolic states, which in turn predictably perturbs cell cycle entry and exit. We propose that oscillatory H2O2-dependent protein thiol oxidation is a key regulator of metabolic cycling and its coordination with cell division.

Abstract
Colon cancer stem cells (CCSCs) play an important role in facilitating colon cancer occurrence, metastasis and drug resistance. The results of our previous studies confirmed that the well-studied antioxidant gene peroxiredoxin-2 (PRDX2) promotes colon cancer progression. However, the underlying function and mechanisms associated with PRDX2 remodeling in the context of CCSCs have remained poorly studied. In our present study, we demonstrated that PRDX2 is highly expressed in CD133/CD44-positive colon cancer tissues and spheroid CD133+CD44+ CCSCs. PRDX2 overexpression was shown to be closely correlated with CD133+CD44+ CCSCs in colon cancer. Furthermore, PRDX2 depletion markedly suppressed CD133+CD44+ CCSC stemness maintenance, tumor initiation, migration and invasion and liver metastasis. Furthermore, the expression of various EMT markers and Wnt/β-catenin signaling proteins was altered after PRDX2 inhibition. In addition, PRDX2 knockdown led to increased ROS production in CD133+CD44+ CCSCs, sensitizing CCSCs to oxidative stress and chemotherapy. These results suggest that PRDX2 could be a possible therapeutic target in CCSCs.

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
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell. They produce a significant amount of the energy we need to grow, survive and reproduce. The same system that generates energy in the form of ATP also produces Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species (mtROS) were considered for many years toxic by-products of metabolism, responsible for ageing and many degenerative diseases. Today, we know that mtROS are essential redox messengers required to determine cell fate and maintain cellular homeostasis. Most mtROS are produced by respiratory complex I (CI) and complex III (CIII). How and when CI and CIII produce ROS is determined by the redox state of the Coenzyme Q (CoQ) pool and the proton motive force (pmf) generated during respiration. During ageing, there is an accumulation of defective mitochondria that generate high levels of mtROS. This causes oxidative stress and disrupts redox signalling. Here, we review how mtROS are generated in young and old mitochondria and how CI and CIII derived ROS control physiological and pathological processes. Finally, we discuss why damaged mitochondria amass during ageing as well as methods to preserve mitochondrial redox signalling with age.

Abstract
Reversible oxidation of thiol proteins is an important cell signalling mechanism. In many cases, this involves generation or exposure of the cells to H2O2, and oxidation of proteins that are not particularly H2O2-reactive. There is a conundrum as to how these proteins are oxidised when other highly reactive proteins such as peroxiredoxins are present. This article discusses potential mechanisms, focussing on recent evidence for oxidation being localised within the cell, redox relays involving peroxiredoxins operating in some signalling pathways, and mechanisms for facilitated or directed oxidation of specific targets. These findings help define conditions that enable redox signalling but there is still much to learn regarding mechanisms.

Abstract
Significance: Redox biology is gaining ground in research related to human physiology (metabolism, signaling), pathophysiology (cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration), and toxicology (radiation- or xenobiotic-induced damage). A major hurdle in advancing redox medicine is the current lack of understanding the mechanisms underpinning the observed detrimental or beneficial in vivo effects. To gain deeper insights into the underlying molecular pathways of redox regulation, we need to appreciate the strengths and limitations of the currently available methods. Recent Advances: Reactive sulfur species (RSS), including cysteine derivatives of peptides and proteins along with small molecules such as hydrogen sulfide or inorganic polysulfides, are major players in redox biology. RSS-mediated regulation of protein functions is a widely studied mechanism in the field, and considerable efforts have been devoted to the development of selective detection methods. Critical Issues: A large number of available methods rely on an alkylation step to freeze the dynamism of consecutive oxidation and reduction events among RSS at a particular time point inside the cell. This process uses the assumption that alkylation blocks all redox events instantaneously. We argue that unfortunately this is often not the case, which could have serious impacts on detected sulfur species speciation and confound experimental results. Future Directions: Novel technologies and prudent optimization of existing methods to accurately characterize the dynamic redox status of the thiol proteome as well as detailed understanding of regulatory and signaling capacities of protein polysulfidation are crucial to open new routes toward therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Purpose Previous studies have reported that the levels of PRDX2 were correlated with tumorigenicity, recurrence, and prognosis of patients with different cancers. We investigated the association between PRDX2 levels and the prognosis of lung cancer patients. We also measured PRDX2 expression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and examined its roles in the proliferation and migration in vitro and in vivo. Methods We used the Kaplan–Meier plotter to analyze the survival of different levels of PRDX2 in lung cancer patients. The expression of PRDX2 in normal bronchial epithelial cell line and NSCLC cell lines was measured by qRT-PCR and western blot assays. Biological functions of NSCLC cells were detected by CCK8 and Transwell assays. We constructed tumor growth model using subcutaneously injection of nude mice and metastasis model by tail vein injection in vivo. The protein levels of proliferation related markers were measured by immunohistochemistry assay. Immunofluorescence method was used to detected EMT-related proteins. Results The high levels of PRDX2 were associated with bad prognosis in lung cancer patients, especially in patients with adenocarcinoma. The expression of PRDX2 in NSCLC cell lines was higher than normal bronchial epithelial cells. Knockdown of PRDX2 inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion in A549 cells, while overexpression of PRDX2 promoted the malignancy in NCI-H1299 cells in vitro. Silencing PRDX2 restrained tumor growth and repressed lung metastasis by EMT in vivo. Conclusion Our data indicates that PRDX2 functions as a protumor regulator and is involved in tumorigenesis and tumor progression of lung cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the role of PRDX2 in esophageal carcinoma (ESCA). METHODS The expression of PRDX2 was detected in ESCA tissues. And PRDX2 expression in two ESCA cell lines was knocked down. Cell proliferation, metastasis and invasion were detected in these cells. RESULTS Here, we found that PRDX2 expression was significantly increased in ESCA tissues and was associated with a poor prognosis in ESCA patients. In addition, PRDX2 expression was significantly associated with pathological grading, infiltration degree and 5-year survival time in ESCA patients. Next, we knocked down PRDX2 expression by PRDX2-shRNA transfection in two ESCA cell lines, Eca-109 and TE-1. Proliferation analysis indicated that in vitro PRDX2 knockdown decreased growth and clone formation of ESCA cells. Scratch and transwell assays indicated that cell migration and invasion were significantly inhibited by PRDX2 knockdown. In addition, PRDX2 knockdown inhibited cell cycle of ESCA cells and down-regulated Cyclin D1-CDK4/6. Moreover, PRDX2 knockdown regulated proteins involved in mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis, including increased Bax and Caspase9/3 and decreased Bcl2. Mechanism investigation indicated that PRDX2 knockdown led to inactivation of Wnt/β-catenin and AKT pathways. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that PRDX2 may function as an oncogene in the development of ESCA via regulating Wnt/β-catenin and AKT pathways. Our study fills a gap in the understanding of the role of PRDX2 in ESCA and provides a potential target for ESCA treatment.

Abstract
Typical 2-cysteine peroxiredoxins (2-Cys Prxs) are critical peroxidase sensors and could be deactivated by the hyperoxidation under oxidative stress. In plants, 2-Cys Prxs present at a high level in chloroplasts and are repaired by Sulfiredoxin. Whereas many studies have explored the mechanism of Sulfiredoxin from Homo sapiens (HsSrx), the molecular mechanism of Sulfiredoxin in plants with unique photosynthesis remains unclear. Here we report the crystal structure of Sulfiredoxin from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtSrx), which displayed 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. These features illustrate the unique mechanisms of AtSrx, which are vital for figure out the strategies of plants to cope with oxidation stress.

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.

Furthermore, we selected Dynamin 3 (DNM3), which is up-regulated by siPRDX2, to investigate its expression pattern and functions in colon cancer. Patients and methods: PRDX2 siRNA was transfected into HCT116 cells and the mRNA profile was tested by RNA-Sequencing. The expression of interest proteins was determined by Western blot. DNM3 expression in colon cancer tissues and para-carcinoma tissues was evaluated by Western blot and immunohistochemistry assays. Full-length cDNA of DNM3 was cloned into pcDNA3.1 and introduced into HCT116 and HT29 cells. Cell proliferation was tested by CCK-8 and colony formation assays. Cell invasion and migration were tested by transwell assays. Gelatin zymography was utilized for detection of MMP9 activity. Cell apoptosis was investigated with Annexin V/PI staining and flow cytometry and visualized with Hoechst/PI staining assay. All statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 17.0 software. Results: PRDX2 knockdown led to 210 up-regulated genes and 16 down-regulated genes in HCT116 cells. We also found that DNM3 expression was up-regulated following PRDX2 silencing in HCT116 and HT29 cells. In colon cancer patients, DNM3 was down-regulated and showed a significant association with pathologic grading. DNM3 overexpression inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in HCT116 and HT29 cells. Cell migration and invasion were also down-regulated in DNM3 overexpressing colon cancer cells, which might be due to the inhibition of MMP9 proteolytic activities. After thorough investigation of the potential mechanism involved, we hypothesized that DNM3 overexpression induced activation of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway and inhibition of the AKT pathway. Conclusion: These data suggest that DNM3 is down-regulated in colon cancer, serving as a tumor suppressor. Our study provides new sights into the prognostic value and therapeutic application of DNM3 in colon cancer.

Peroxiredoxin-mediated disulfide bond formation is required for nucleocytoplasmic translocation and secretion of HMGB1 in response to inflammatory stimuli. Redox Biol 2019; 24:101203.

Abstract
The nuclear protein HMGB1 (high mobility group box 1) is secreted by monocytes-macrophages in response to inflammatory stimuli and serves as a danger-associated molecular pattern. Acetylation and phosphorylation of HMGB1 are implicated in the regulation of its nucleocytoplasmic translocation for secretion, although inflammatory stimuli are known to induce H2O2 production. Here we show that H2O2-induced oxidation of HMGB1, which results in the formation of an intramolecular disulfide bond between Cys23 and Cys45, is necessary and sufficient for its nucleocytoplasmic translocation and secretion. The oxidation is catalyzed by peroxiredoxin I (PrxI) and PrxII, which are first oxidized by H2O2 and then transfer their disulfide oxidation state to HMGB1. The disulfide form of HMGB1 showed higher affinity for nuclear exportin CRM1 compared with the reduced form. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)–induced HMGB1 secretion was greatly attenuated in macrophages derived from PrxI or PrxII knockout mice, as was the LPS-induced increase in serum HMGB1 levels.

Abstract
Intermediary metabolism and detoxification place high demands on the disulfide reductase systems in most hepatocyte subcellular compartments. Biosynthetic, metabolic, cytoprotective and signalling activities in the cytosol; regulation of transcription in nuclei; respiration in mitochondria; and protein folding in endoplasmic reticulum all require resident disulfide reductase activities. In the cytosol, two NADPH-dependent enzymes, glutathione reductase and thioredoxin reductase, as well as a recently identified NADPH-independent system that uses catabolism of methionine to maintain pools of reduced glutathione, supply disulfide reducing power. However the necessary discontinuity between the cytosol and the interior of organelles restricts the ability of the cytosolic systems to support needs in other compartments. Maintenance of molecular- and charge-gradients across the inner-mitochondrial membrane, which is needed for oxidative phosphorylation, mandates that the matrix maintain an autonomous set of NADPH-dependent disulfide reductase systems. Elsewhere, complex mechanisms mediate the transfer of cytosolic reducing power into specific compartments. The redox needs in each compartment also differ, with the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum, the mitochondrial inter-membrane space and some signalling proteins in the cytosol each requiring different levels of protein oxidation. Here, we present an overview of the current understanding of the disulfide reductase systems in major subcellular compartments of hepatocytes, integrating knowledge obtained from direct analyses on liver with inferences from other model systems. Additionally, we discuss relevant advances in the expanding field of redox signalling. LINKED ARTICLES: This article is part of a themed section on Chemical Biology of Reactive Sulfur Species.

Abstract
Oxidative stress has been considered as one of pathogenesis of brain damage led by epilepsy. Reducing oxidative stress can ameliorate brain damage during seizures. However, expression levels of important antioxidative enzymes such as thioredoxin-1 (TRX1), thioredoxin-like 1 protein (TXNL1) and thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1) during seizures have not been investigated. In this study, we examined protein and mRNA expression levels of TRX1, TXNL1 and TXNRD1 in different brain regions in PTZ induced seizure model mice. We found that protein expression levels of TRX1, TXNL1 and TXNRD1 are simultaneously up-regulated by 2- or 3-fold in the cortex of both acute and chronic seizure model mice. But there is no unified expression pattern change of these enzymes in the hippocampus, cerebellum and diencephalon in the seizure model mice. Less extent up-regulation of mRNA expression of these enzymes were also observed in the cortex of seizure mice. These data suggest that antioxidative enzymes may provide a protective effect against oxidative stress in the cortex during seizures.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins, a highly conserved family of thiol oxidoreductases, play a key role in oxidant detoxification by partnering with the thioredoxin system to protect against oxidative stress. In addition to their peroxidase activity, certain types of peroxiredoxins possess other biochemical activities, including assistance in preventing protein aggregation upon exposure to high levels of oxidants (molecular chaperone activity), and the transduction of redox signals to downstream proteins (redox switch activity). Mice lacking the peroxiredoxin Prdx1 exhibit an increased incidence of tumor formation, whereas baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) lacking the orthologous peroxiredoxin Tsa1 exhibit a mutator phenotype. Collectively, these findings suggest a potential link between peroxiredoxins, control of genomic stability, and cancer etiology. Here, we examine the potential mechanisms through which Tsa1 lowers mutation rates, taking into account its diverse biochemical roles in oxidant defense, protein homeostasis, and redox signaling as well as its interplay with thioredoxin and thioredoxin substrates, including ribonucleotide reductase. More work is needed to clarify the nuanced mechanism(s) through which this highly conserved peroxidase influences genome stability, and to determine if this mechanism is similar across a range of species.

Abstract
Appropriate subcellular localization of regulatory factors is critical for cellular function. Pap1, a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling transcription factor of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, is redox regulated for localization and antistress function. In this study, we find that overproduction of a peptide conjugate containing the nuclear export signal of Oxs1, a conserved eukaryotic protein that, along with Pap1, regulates certain diamide responsive genes, can retain Pap1 in the nucleus before stress by competing for nuclear export. The nuclear retention of Pap1 upregulates several drug resistance genes to prime the cells for higher tolerance to disulfide stress. Overproduction of Oxs1 also upregulates these same genes, not by competing for export but by binding directly to the drug resistance gene promoters for Pap1-mediated activation. Of medical relevance is that this may suggest a gene therapy approach of using nuclear export signal conjugates to suppress the nuclear export of biomolecules.

Abstract
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is constitutively active in yeast thioredoxin reductase mutants, suggesting a link between cytoplasmic thiol redox control and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) oxidative protein folding. The unique oxidative environment of the ER lumen requires tight regulatory control, and we show that the active UPR depends on the presence of oxidized thioredoxins rather than arising because of a loss of thioredoxin function. Preventing activation of the UPR by deletion of HAC1, encoding the UPR transcription factor, rescues a number of thioredoxin reductase mutant phenotypes, including slow growth, shortened longevity, and oxidation of the cytoplasmic GSH pool. This is because the constitutive UPR in a thioredoxin reductase mutant results in the generation of hydrogen peroxide. The oxidation of thioredoxins in a thioredoxin reductase mutant requires aerobic metabolism and the presence of the Tsa1 and Tsa2 peroxiredoxins, indicating that a complete cytoplasmic thioredoxin system is crucial for maintaining ER redox homeostasis.

Abstract
Targeted expression of a therapeutic agent is a major bottleneck in designing a drug delivery system. Protein aggregation and elevated oxidative stress are associated with the onset of many neurodegenerative disorders, including Huntington's disease (HD). An oxidative stress-inducible promoter, i.e. Thioredoxin 2, was employed to design a sensor for protein aggregation. RNA aptamers specific for mutant huntingtin were expressed only in cells where aggregation of mutant huntingtin occurred. A nine-fold increase in RNA expression was seen when aptamer sequences were cloned under the Trx2 promoter. Expression of aptamer resulted in reduced protein aggregation and decreased oxidative stress, which, in turn, reduced the expression of aptamers by two-fold. Reduction in aggregation led to increased cell survival. The aptamers were not expressed in cells expressing wild-type huntingtin in the soluble form. This rational and simple design will allow the use of this construct for the targeted expression of other therapeutic nucleic acid molecules as well.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE In 2003, structural studies revealed that eukaryotic 2-Cys peroxiredoxins (Prx) have evolved to be sensitive to inactivation of their thioredoxin peroxidase activity by hyperoxidation (sulfinylation) of their peroxide-reacting catalytic cysteine. This was accompanied by the unexpected discovery, that the sulfinylation of this cysteine was reversible in vivo and the identification of a new enzyme, sulfiredoxin, that had apparently co-evolved specifically to reduce hyperoxidized 2-Cys Prx, restoring their peroxidase activity. Together, these findings have provided the impetus for multiple studies investigating the purpose of this reversible, Prx hyperoxidation. Recent Advances: It has been suggested that inhibition of the thioredoxin peroxidase activity by hyperoxidation can both promote and inhibit peroxide signal transduction, depending on the context. Prx hyperoxidation has also been proposed to protect cells against reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced damage, by preserving reduced thioredoxin and/or by increasing non-peroxidase chaperone or signaling activities of Prx. CRITICAL ISSUES Here, we will review the evidence in support of each of these proposed functions, in view of the in vivo contexts in which Prx hyperoxidation occurs, and the role of sulfiredoxin. Thus, we will attempt to explain the basis for seemingly contradictory roles for Prx hyperoxidation in redox signaling. FUTURE DIRECTIONS We provide a rationale, based on modeling and experimental studies, for why Prx hyperoxidation should be considered a suitable, early biomarker for damaging levels of ROS. We discuss the implications that this has for the role of Prx in aging and the detection of hyperoxidized Prx as a conserved feature of circadian rhythms. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 28, 574-590.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is known to act as a messenger in signal transduction. How H2O2 leads to selective and efficient oxidation of specific thiols on specific signaling proteins remains one of the most important open questions in redox biology. Recent Advances: Increasing evidence implicates thiol peroxidases as mediators of protein thiol oxidation. Recently, this evidence has been extended to include the peroxiredoxins (Prxs). Prxs are exceptionally sensitive to H2O2, abundantly expressed and capture most of the H2O2 that is generated inside cells. CRITICAL ISSUES The overall prevalence and importance of Prx-based redox signaling relays are still unknown. The same is true for alternative mechanisms of redox signaling. FUTURE DIRECTIONS It will be important to clarify the relative contributions of Prx-mediated and direct thiol oxidation to H2O2 signaling. Many questions relating to Prx-based redox relays remain to be answered, including their mechanism, structural organization, and the potential role of adaptor proteins. Antioxid.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), generated externally and during aerobic metabolism, are a potent cause of cell damage. Oxidative damage is a feature of many diseases and ageing, including age-associated diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Indeed, this association helped lead to the widely expounded 'Free Radical Theory of Aging', proposing that the accumulation of ROS-induced damage is the underlying cause of ageing. In the last decade, it has become apparent that ROS play more complex roles in ageing than simply causing damage. This includes the induction of signalling pathways that protect against/repair cell damage. Cells encode a variety of enzymes that metabolise ROS, some of which reduce them to less reactive species. In this chapter, we review the evidence that manipulating the levels of these enzymes has any effect/s on ageing. We will also highlight a few examples illustrating why it is an over-simplification to describe the activities of some of these enzymes as 'antioxidants'. We discuss how these studies have helped refine our view of how ROS and ROS-metabolising enzymes contribute to the ageing process.

Abstract
We have shown previously that the transcription factor MoAP1 governs the oxidative response and is important for pathogenicity in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. To explore the underlying mechanism, we have identified thioredoxin MoTrx2 as a target of MoAP1 in M. oryzae. Thioredoxins are highly conserved 12-kDa oxidoreductase enzymes containing a dithiol-disulfide active site, and function as antioxidants against free radicals, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS). In yeast and fungi, thioredoxins are important for oxidative stress tolerance and growth. To study the functions of MoTrx2, we generated ΔMotrx2 mutants that exhibit various defects, including sulfite assimilation, asexual and sexual differentiation, infectious hyphal growth and pathogenicity. We found that ΔMotrx2 mutants possess a defect in the scavenging of ROS during host cell invasion and in the active suppression of the rice defence response. We also found that ΔMotrx2 mutants display higher intracellular ROS levels during conidial germination, but lower peroxidase and laccase activities, which contribute to the attenuation in virulence. Given that the function of MoTrx2 overlaps that of MoAP1 in the stress response and pathogenicity, our findings further indicate that MoTrx2 is a key thioredoxin protein whose function is subjected to transcriptional regulation by MoAP1 in M. oryzae.

Abstract
The present study was to investigate the clinical significance of peroxiredoxin 2 (PRDX2), an oncoenzyme, in the development and progression of colorectal cancer(CRC).We found levels of PRDX2 mRNA and protein were higher in CRC cell lines than in normal human colonic epithelial cells. PRDX2 expression was significantly up-regulated in CRC lesions compared with that in the adjacent noncancerous tissues. CRC tissues from 148 of 226 (65.5%) patients revealed high level of PRDX2 protein expression in contrast to only 13 of 226 (5.8%) PRDX2 strong staining cases in the adjacent noncancerous tissues. Increased expression of PRDX2 protein was significantly associated with poor tumor differentiation (p = 0.001), advanced local invasion (p = 0.046), increased lymph node metastasis (p = 0.008), and advanced TNM stage (p = 0.020). Patients with higher PRDX2 expression had a significantly shorter disease-free survival and worse disease-specific survival than those with low expression. Importantly, PRDX2 up-regulation was an independent prognostic indicator for stage I–III, early stage (stage I-II) and advanced stage (stage III) patients. In conclusion, our findings suggest PRDX2 up-regulation correlates with tumor progression and could serve as a useful marker for the prognosis of CRC.

Abstract
Understanding the mechanism of action of antifungal drugs is vital for better control of mycosis, which kills >1.3 million lives every year thus remains a major health problem worldwide. In this study, we investigate the activities of three different categories of plant-derived antifungal compounds (resveratrol, honokiol and osthole) via transcriptomics and bioinformatics analysis, with the goal of discovering the common Mode-of-Action (MoA) at molecular level. The result shows that a common transcriptional response (72 gene are up-regulated while 10 genes are down-regulated, commonly) are triggered by above representative antifungal compounds in Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S. pombe) yeast. By virtue of gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and gene functional annotation study, we identify that the genes involved in oxidative stress response, sugar metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, amino acid metabolism and glycolysis are significantly up-regulated, while the genes involved in nucleosome assembly, transcription and RNA processing are down-regulated, by any of these antifungal compounds. These observations demonstrate that the common MoA includes a strengthened anti-oxidative cell adaptation, a faster metabolic rate and a generally suppressed gene transcriptional activity. It implies a genetically encoded common redistribution of intracellular energy flux and molecules synthesis, after the challenging of antifungal compounds.

Quantitative biology of hydrogen peroxide signaling. Redox Biol 2017; 13:1-7.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) controls signaling pathways in cells by oxidative modulation of the activity of redox sensitive proteins denominated redox switches. Here, quantitative biology concepts are applied to review how H2O2 fulfills a key role in information transmission. Equations described lay the foundation of H2O2 signaling, give new insights on H2O2 signaling mechanisms, and help to learn new information from common redox signaling experiments. A key characteristic of H2O2 signaling is that the ratio between reduction and oxidation of redox switches determines the range of H2O2 concentrations to which they respond. Thus, a redox switch with low H2O2-dependent oxidability and slow reduction rate responds to the same range of H2O2 concentrations as a redox switch with high H2O2-dependent oxidability, but that is rapidly reduced. Yet, in the first case the response time is slow while in the second case is rapid. H2O2 sensing and transmission of information can be done directly or by complex mechanisms in which oxidation is relayed between proteins before oxidizing the final regulatory redox target. In spite of being a very simple molecule, H2O2 has a key role in cellular signaling, with the reliability of the information transmitted depending on the inherent chemical reactivity of redox switches, on the presence of localized H2O2 pools, and on the molecular recognition between redox switches and their partners. Hydrogen peroxide signaling proceeds through oxidation of redox switches. Oxidation of redox switches can be direct or mediated by highly reactive sensors. Response of redox switches is controlled by their oxidability and reduction rate. Localized protein interactions ensure the accuracy of information transmission.

Peroxiredoxin 1 (Prx1) is a dual-function enzyme by possessing Cys-independent catalase-like activity. Biochem J 2017; 474:1373-1394.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxin (Prx) was previously known as a Cys-dependent thioredoxin. However, we unexpectedly observed that Prx1 from the green spotted puffer fish Tetraodon nigroviridis (TnPrx1) was able to reduce H2O2 in a manner independent of Cys peroxidation and reductants. This study aimed to validate a novel function for Prx1, delineate the biochemical features and explore its antioxidant role in cells. We have confirmed that Prx1 from the puffer fish and humans truly possesses a catalase (CAT)-like activity that is independent of Cys residues and reductants, but dependent on iron. We have identified that the GVL motif was essential to the CAT-like activity of Prx1, but not to the Cys-dependent thioredoxin peroxidase (POX) activity, and generated mutants lacking POX and/or CAT-like activities for individual functional validation. We discovered that the TnPrx1 POX and CAT-like activities possessed different kinetic features in the reduction of H2O2. The overexpression of wild-type TnPrx1 and mutants differentially regulated the intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the phosphorylation of p38 in HEK-293T cells treated with H2O2. Prx1 is a dual-function enzyme by acting as POX and CAT with varied affinities towards ROS. This study extends our knowledge on Prx1 and provides new opportunities to further study the biological roles of this family of antioxidants.

Abstract
Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides have protective effects against apoptosis in neurons exposed to ischemia/reperfusion injury, but the mechanisms are unclear. The goal of this study was to investigate the underlying mechanisms of the effects of ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides against oxidative stress-induced neuronal apoptosis. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was used to induce apoptosis in cultured cerebellar granule cells. In these cells, ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides remarkably suppressed H2O2-induced apoptosis, decreased expression of caspase-3, Bax and Bim and increased that of Bcl-2. These findings suggested that ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides regulate expression of apoptosis-associated proteins, inhibit oxidative stress-induced neuronal apoptosis and, therefore, have significant neuroprotective effects.

Abstract
The cellular redox state is important for the regulation of multiple functions and is essential for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and antioxidant defense. In the excretory/secretory (E/S) products of Strongyloides ratti and Trichuris suis sequences for thioredoxin (Trx) and Trx-like protein (Trx-lp) were identified. To characterize the antioxidant Trx-lp and its interaction with the parasite's mucosal habitat, S. ratti and T. suis Trx-lps were cloned and recombinantly expressed. The primary antioxidative activity was assured by reduction of insulin and IgM. Further analysis applying an in vitro mucosal 3D-cell culture model revealed that the secreted Trx-lps were able to bind to monocytic and intestinal epithelial cells and induce the time-dependent release of cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-22, and TSLP. In addition, the redox proteins also possessed chemotactic activity for monocytic THP-1 cells and fostered epithelial wound healing activity. These results confirm that the parasite-secreted Trx-lps are multifunctional proteins that can affect the host intestinal mucosa.

Abstract
We describe a Pap1–Oxs1 pathway for diamide-induced disulfide stress in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, where the nucleocytoplasmic HMG protein Oxs1 acts cooperatively with Pap1 to regulate transcription. Oxs1 and Pap1 form a complex when cells are exposed to diamide or Cd that causes disulfide stress. When examined for promoters up-regulated by diamide, effective Pap1 binding to these targets requires Oxs1, and vice versa. With some genes, each protein alone enhances transcription, but the presence of both exerts an additive positive effect. In other genes, although transcription is induced by diamide, Oxs1 or Pap1 plays a negative role with full de-repression requiring loss of both proteins. In a third class of genes, Oxs1 positively regulates expression, but in its absence, Pap1 plays a negative role. The Oxs1–Pap1 regulatory interaction appears evolutionarily conserved, as heterologous (human, mouse and Arabidopsis) Oxs1 and Pap1-homologues can bind interchangeably with each other in vitro, and at least in the fission yeast, heterologous Oxs1 and Pap1-homologues can substitute for S. pombe Oxs1 and Pap1 to enhance stress tolerance.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species, such as H2O2, can damage cells but also promote fundamental processes, including growth, differentiation and migration. The mechanisms allowing cells to differentially respond to toxic or signaling H2O2 levels are poorly defined. Here we reveal that increasing external H2O2 produces a bi-phasic response in intracellular H2O2. Peroxiredoxins (Prx) are abundant peroxidases which protect against genome instability, ageing and cancer. We have developed a dynamic model simulating in vivo changes in Prx oxidation. Remarkably, we show that the thioredoxin peroxidase activity of Prx does not provide any significant protection against external rises in H2O2. Instead, our model and experimental data are consistent with low levels of extracellular H2O2 being efficiently buffered by other thioredoxin-dependent activities, including H2O2-reactive cysteines in the thiol-proteome. We show that when extracellular H2O2 levels overwhelm this buffering capacity, the consequent rise in intracellular H2O2 triggers hyperoxidation of Prx to thioredoxin-resistant, peroxidase-inactive form/s. Accordingly, Prx hyperoxidation signals that H2O2 defenses are breached, diverting thioredoxin to repair damage.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are ubiquitary proteins able to play multiple physiological roles, that include thiol-dependent peroxidase, chaperone holdase, sensor of H2O2, regulator of H2O2-dependent signal cascades, and modulator of the immune response. Prxs have been found in a great number of human pathogens, both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Gene knock-out studies demonstrated that Prxs are essential for the survival and virulence of at least some of the pathogens tested, making these proteins potential drug targets. However, the multiplicity of roles played by Prxs constitutes an unexpected obstacle to drug development. Indeed, selective inhibitors of some of the functions of Prxs are known (namely of the peroxidase and holdase functions) and are here reported. However, it is often unclear which function is the most relevant in each pathogen, hence which one is most desirable to inhibit. Indeed there are evidences that the main physiological role of Prxs may not be the same in different parasites. We here review which functions of Prxs have been demonstrated to be relevant in different human parasites, finding that the peroxidase and chaperone activities figure prominently, whereas other known functions of Prxs have rarely, if ever, been observed in parasites, or have largely escaped detection thus far.

Abstract
A challenge in the redox field is the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms, by which H2O2 mediates signal transduction in cells. This is relevant since redox pathways are disturbed in some pathologies. The transcription factor OxyR is the H2O2 sensor in bacteria, whereas Cys-based peroxidases are involved in the perception of this oxidant in eukaryotic cells. Three possible mechanisms may be involved in H2O2 signaling that are not mutually exclusive. In the simplest pathway, H2O2 signals through direct oxidation of the signaling protein, such as a phosphatase or a transcription factor. Although signaling proteins are frequently observed in the oxidized state in biological systems, in most cases their direct oxidation by H2O2 is too slow (10(1) M(-1)s(-1) range) to outcompete Cys-based peroxidases and glutathione. In some particular cellular compartments (such as vicinity of NADPH oxidases), it is possible that a signaling protein faces extremely high H2O2 concentrations, making the direct oxidation feasible. Alternatively, high H2O2 levels can hyperoxidize peroxiredoxins leading to local building up of H2O2 that then could oxidize a signaling protein (floodgate hypothesis). In a second model, H2O2 oxidizes Cys-based peroxidases that then through thiol-disulfide reshuffling would transmit the oxidized equivalents to the signaling protein. The third model of signaling is centered on the reducing substrate of Cys-based peroxidases that in most cases is thioredoxin. Is this model, peroxiredoxins would signal by modulating the thioredoxin redox status. More kinetic data is required to allow the identification of the complex network of thiol switches.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins are highly conserved and abundant peroxidases. Although the thioredoxin peroxidase activity of peroxiredoxin (Prx) is important to maintain low levels of endogenous hydrogen peroxide, Prx have also been shown to promote hydrogen peroxide-mediated signalling. Mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling pathways mediate cellular responses to a variety of stimuli, including reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here we review the evidence that Prx can act as both sensors and barriers to the activation of MAPK and discuss the underlying mechanisms involved, focusing in particular on the relationship with thioredoxin.

Abstract
The peroxiredoxins (Prxs) constitute a very large and highly conserved family of thiol-based peroxidases that has been discovered only very recently. We consider here these enzymes through the angle of their discovery, and of some features of their molecular and physiological functions, focusing on complex phenotypes of the gene mutations of the 2-Cys Prxs subtype in yeast. As scavengers of the low levels of H2O2 and as H2O2 receptors and transducers, 2-Cys Prxs have been highly instrumental to understand the biological impact of H2O2, and in particular its signaling function. 2-Cys Prxs can also become potent chaperone holdases, and unveiling the in vivo relevance of this function, which is still not established, should further increase our knowledge of the biological impact and toxicity of H2O2. The diverse molecular functions of 2-Cys Prx explain the often-hard task of relating them to peroxiredoxin genes phenotypes, which underscores the pleiotropic physiological role of these enzymes and complex biologic impact of H2O2.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are a ubiquitous family of antioxidant proteins that are known as thioredoxin peroxidases. Here we report that Prx1 proteins from Tetraodon nigroviridis and humans also possess a previously unknown catalase-like activity that is independent of Cys residues and reductants but dependent on iron. We identified that the GVL motif was essential to the catalase (CAT)-like activity of Prx1 but not to the Cys-dependent thioredoxin peroxidase (POX) activity, and we generated mutants lacking POX and/or CAT activities for individually delineating their functional features. We discovered that the TnPrx1 POX and CAT activities possessed different kinetic features in reducing H2O2. The overexpression of wild-type TnPrx1 and mutants differentially regulated the intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species and p38 phosphorylation in HEK-293T cells treated with H2O2. These observations suggest that the dual antioxidant activities of Prx1 may be crucial for organisms to mediate intracellular redox homeostasis.
