Abstract
The mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) is essential to safeguard mitochondria from proteotoxic damage by activating a dedicated transcriptional response in the nucleus to restore proteostasis1,2. Yet, it remains unclear how the information on mitochondria misfolding stress (MMS) is signalled to the nucleus as part of the human UPRmt (refs. 3,4). Here, we show that UPRmt signalling is driven by the release of two individual signals in the cytosol-mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) and accumulation of mitochondrial protein precursors in the cytosol (c-mtProt). Combining proteomics and genetic approaches, we identified that MMS causes the release of mtROS into the cytosol. In parallel, MMS leads to mitochondrial protein import defects causing c-mtProt accumulation. Both signals integrate to activate the UPRmt; released mtROS oxidize the cytosolic HSP40 protein DNAJA1, which leads to enhanced recruitment of cytosolic HSP70 to c-mtProt. Consequently, HSP70 releases HSF1, which translocates to the nucleus and activates transcription of UPRmt genes. Together, we identify a highly controlled cytosolic surveillance mechanism that integrates independent mitochondrial stress signals to initiate the UPRmt. These observations reveal a link between mitochondrial and cytosolic proteostasis and provide molecular insight into UPRmt signalling in human cells.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (PRDXs) are abundant peroxidases present in all kingdoms of life. Recently, they have been shown to also carry out additional roles as molecular chaperones. To address this emerging supplementary function, this review focuses on structural studies of 2-Cys PRDX systems exhibiting chaperone activity. We provide a detailed understanding of the current knowledge of structural determinants underlying the chaperone function of PRDXs. Specifically, we describe the mechanisms which may modulate their quaternary structure to facilitate interactions with client proteins and how they are coordinated with the functions of other molecular chaperones. Following an overview of PRDX molecular architecture, we outline structural details of the presently best-characterized peroxiredoxins exhibiting chaperone function and highlight common denominators. Finally, we discuss the remarkable structural similarities between 2-Cys PRDXs, small HSPs, and J-domain-independent Hsp40 holdases in terms of their functions and dynamic equilibria between low- and high-molecular-weight oligomers.

Abstract
Recently developed quantitative redox proteomic studies enable the direct identification of redox-sensing cysteine residues that regulate the functional behavior of target proteins in response to changing levels of reactive oxygen species. At the molecular level, redox regulation can directly modify the active sites of enzymes, although a growing number of examples indicate the importance of an additional underlying mechanism that involves conditionally disordered proteins. These proteins alter their functional behavior by undergoing a disorder-to-order transition in response to changing redox conditions. However, the extent to which this mechanism is used in various proteomes is currently unknown. Here, a recently developed sequence-based prediction tool incorporated into the IUPred2A web server is used to estimate redox-sensitive conditionally disordered regions at a large scale. It is shown that redox-sensitive conditional disorder is fairly widespread in various proteomes and that its presence strongly correlates with the expansion of specific domains in multicellular organisms that largely rely on extra stability provided by disulfide bonds or zinc ion binding. The analyses of yeast redox proteomes and human disease data further underlie the significance of this phenomenon in the regulation of a wide range of biological processes, as well as its biomedical importance.

Abstract
Acute fluoride (F-) toxicity is known to cause severe cardiac complications and leads to sudden heart failure. Previously, we reported that increased myocardial oxidative damage, apoptosis, altered cytoskeleton and AMPK signaling proteins associated with energy deprivation in acute F- induced cardiac dysfunction. The present study was aimed to decipher the status of myocardial heat shock proteins (Hsps-Hsp27, Hsp32, Hsp40, Hsp60, Hsp70, Hsp90) and heat shock transcription factor 1 (Hsf1) in acute F--intoxicated rats. In order to study the expression of myocardial Hsps, male Wistar rats were treated with single oral doses of 45 and 90 mg/kg F- for 24 h. The expression levels of myocardial Hsps were determined using RT-PCR, western blotting, and immunohistochemical studies. Acute F--intoxicated rats showed elevated levels of both the transcripts and protein expression of Hsf1, Hsp27, Hsp32, Hsp60, and Hsp70 when compared to control. In addition, the expression levels of Hsp40 and Hsp90 were significantly declined in a dose-dependent fashion in F--treated animals. Our result suggests that differential expression of Hsps in the rat myocardium could serve as a balance between pro-survival and death signal during acute F--induced heart failure.

Abstract
The accumulation of damaged and aggregated proteins is a hallmark of aging and increased proteotoxic stress. To limit the toxicity of damaged and aggregated proteins and to ensure that the damage is not inherited by succeeding cell generations, a system of spatial quality control operates to sequester damaged/aggregated proteins into inclusions at specific protective sites. Such spatial sequestration and asymmetric segregation of damaged proteins have emerged as key processes required for cellular rejuvenation. In this review, we summarize findings on the nature of the different quality control sites identified in yeast, on genetic determinants required for spatial quality control, and on how aggregates are recognized depending on the stress generating them. We also briefly compare the yeast system to spatial quality control in other organisms. The data accumulated demonstrate that spatial quality control involves factors beyond the canonical quality control factors, such as chaperones and proteases, and opens up new venues in approaching how proteotoxicity might be mitigated, or delayed, upon aging.

Abstract
The subcellular compartments of eukaryotic cells are characterized by different redox environments. Whereas the cytosol, nucleus and mitochondria are more reducing, the endoplasmic reticulum represents a more oxidizing environment. As the redox level controls the formation of intra- and inter-molecular disulfide bonds, the folding of proteins is tightly linked to its environment. The proteostasis network of each compartment needs to be adapted to the compartmental redox properties. In addition to chaperones, also members of the thioredoxin superfamily can influence the folding of proteins by regulation of cysteine reduction/oxidation. This review will focus on thioredoxin superfamily members and chaperones of C. elegans, which play an important role at the interface between redox and protein homeostasis. Additionally, this review will highlight recent methodological developments on in vivo and in vitro assessment of the redox state and their application to provide insights into the high complexity of redox and proteostasis networks of C. elegans.

Abstract
Murine protein serine-threonine kinase 38 (MPK38) is a member of the AMP-activated protein kinase-related serine/threonine kinase family. The factors that regulate MPK38 activity and function are not yet elucidated. Here, thioredoxin (Trx) was shown to be a negative regulator of MPK38. The redox-dependent association of MPK38 and Trx was mediated through the C-terminal domain of MPK38. Single and double amino acid substitution mutagenesis of MPK38 (C286S, C339S, C377S, and C339S/C377S) and Trx (C32S, C35S, and C32S/C35S) demonstrated that Cys(339) and Cys(377) of MPK38 and Cys(32) and Cys(35) of Trx are required for MPK38-Trx complex formation. MPK38 directly interacted with and phosphorylated Trx at Thr(76). Expression of wild-type Trx, but not the Trx mutants C32S/C35S and T76A, inhibited MPK38-induced ASK1, TGF-β, and p53 function by destabilizing MPK38. The E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase Mdm2 played a critical role in the regulation of MPK38 stability by Trx. Treatment of cells with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, a specific inhibitor of Trx reductase, decreased MPK38-Trx complex formation and subsequently increased MPK38 stability and activity, indicating that Trx negatively regulates MPK38 activity in vivo. Finally, we used ASK1-, Smad3-, and p53-null mouse embryonic fibroblasts to demonstrate that ASK1, Smad3, and p53 play important roles in the activity and function of MPK38, suggesting a functional link between MPK38 and ASK1, TGF-β, and p53 signaling pathways. These results indicate that Trx functions as a physiological inhibitor of MPK38, which plays an important role in inducing ASK1-, TGF-β-, and p53-mediated activity.

DnaJA1 antagonizes constitutive Hsp70-mediated stabilization of tau. J Mol Biol 2012; 421:653-61.

Abstract
Tau aggregation and amyloidogenesis are common hallmarks for neurodegenerative disorders called tauopathies. The molecular chaperone network constitutes the cellular defense against insults such as tau aggregation. However, chaperone effects on tau are dichotomous. Loss of tau's microtubule-binding activity facilitates an inappropriate chaperone interaction that promotes an amyloidogenic tau conformation. Conversely, other chaperones are capable of promoting tau clearance. Here, we demonstrate that a critical contributor to tau triage is the DnaJ-binding domain of Hsp70 proteins. In particular, over-expression of the constitutive DnaJ, DnaJA1, mediated tau clearance, while knockdown facilitated tau accumulation. This clearance was not specific to distinct pathogenic tau species. The activity of DnaJA1 was attenuated by concomitant increases in Hsp70. Tau reductions facilitated by DnaJA1 were dependent on the integrity of lysines known to be poly-ubiquitinated in human Alzheimer's brain. In vivo, DnaJA1 and tau levels were inversely correlated. The effects of DnaJA1 were partially specific: DnaJA1 reduced the levels of a polyQ protein but had no significant effect on α-synuclein levels. These data suggest that DnaJA1 triages all tau species for ubiquitin-dependent clearance mechanisms. Moreover, the levels of DnaJA1 and Hsp70 seem to play against each other with regard to tau: as DnaJA1 levels increase, tau levels are reduced, but this can be prevented if Hsp70 levels are simultaneously induced. Thus, the DnaJ repertoire possibly represents a powerful set of genetic modifiers for tau pathogenesis. Further investigations could provide new insights about triage decisions that facilitate or prevent amyloidogenesis of tau and other proteins associated with neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
Despite the significance of redox post-translational modifications (PTMs) in regulating diverse signal transduction pathways, the enzymatic systems that catalyze reversible and specific oxidative or reductive modifications have yet to be firmly established. Thioredoxin 1 (Trx1) is a conserved antioxidant protein that is well known for its disulfide reductase activity. Interestingly, Trx1 is also able to transnitrosylate or denitrosylate (defined as processes to transfer or remove a nitric oxide entity to/from substrates) specific proteins. An intricate redox regulatory mechanism has recently been uncovered that accounts for the ability of Trx1 to catalyze these different redox PTMs. In this review, we will summarize the available evidence in support of Trx1 as a specific disulfide reductase, and denitrosylation and transnitrosylation agent, as well as the biological significance of the diverse array of Trx1-regulated pathways and processes under different physiological contexts. The dramatic progress in redox proteomics techniques has enabled the identification of an increasing number of proteins, including peroxiredoxin 1, whose disulfide bond formation and nitrosylation status are regulated by Trx1. This review will also summarize the advancements of redox proteomics techniques for the identification of the protein targets of Trx1-mediated PTMs. Collectively, these studies have shed light on the mechanisms that regulate Trx1-mediated reduction, transnitrosylation, and denitrosylation of specific target proteins, solidifying the role of Trx1 as a master regulator of redox signal transduction.

Abstract
Ten years ago, proteomics techniques designed for large-scale investigations of redox-sensitive proteins started to emerge. The proteomes, defined as sets of proteins containing reactive cysteines that undergo oxidative post-translational modifications, have had a particular impact on research concerning the redox regulation of cellular processes. These proteomes, which are hereafter termed "disulfide proteomes," have been studied in nearly all kingdoms of life, including animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria. Disulfide proteomics has been applied to the identification of proteins modified by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species under stress conditions. Other studies involving disulfide proteomics have addressed the functions of thioredoxins and glutaredoxins. Hence, there is a steadily growing number of proteins containing reactive cysteines, which are probable targets for redox regulation. The disulfide proteomes have provided evidence that entire pathways, such as glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and the Calvin-Benson cycle, are controlled by mechanisms involving changes in the cysteine redox state of each enzyme implicated. Synthesis and degradation of proteins are processes highly represented in disulfide proteomes and additional biochemical data have established some mechanisms for their redox regulation. Thus, combined with biochemistry and genetics, disulfide proteomics has a significant potential to contribute to new discoveries on redox regulation and signaling.

Abstract
S-nitrosylation, a post-translational modification of cysteine residues induced by nitric oxide, mediates many physiological functions. Due to the labile nature of S-nitrosylation, detection by mass spectrometry (MS) is challenging. Here, we developed an S-alkylating labeling strategy using the irreversible biotinylation on S-nitrosocysteines for site-specific identification of the S-nitrosoproteome by LC-MS/MS. Using COS-7 cells without endogenous nitric oxide synthase, we demonstrated that the S-alkylating labeling strategy substantially improved the blocking efficiency of free cysteines, minimized the false-positive identification caused by disulfide interchange, and increased the digestion efficiency for improved peptide identification using MS analyses. Using this strategy, we identified total 586 unique S-nitrosylation sites corresponding to 384 proteins in S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP)/l-cysteine-treated mouse MS-1 endothelial cells, including 234 previously unreported S-nitrosylated proteins. When the topologies of 84 identified transmembrane proteins were further analyzed, their S-nitrosylation sites were found to mostly face the cytoplasmic side, implying that S-nitrosylation occurs in the cytoplasm. In addition to the previously known acid/basic motifs, the ten deduced consensus motifs suggested that combination of local hydrophobicity and acid/base motifs in the tertiary structure contribute to the specificity of S-nitrosylation. Moreover, the S-nitrosylated cysteines showed preference on beta-strand, having lower relative surface accessibility at the S-nitrosocysteines.

Abstract
Many biological functions in cells are regulated by the effects of the redox state on cellular signaling pathways. In the heart, pathological hypertrophy caused by a wide variety of stimuli is commonly mediated by nucleo-cytoplasmic translocation of class II histone deacetylases (HDACs) and subsequent de-suppression of transcription factors, including nuclear factor of activated T-cells and MEF2. One of the primary triggers of class II HDAC nuclear export is phosphorylation by HDAC kinases activated by hypertrophic stimuli. However, oxidative modification of conserved cysteine residues can also potentially induce nuclear export of class II HDACs. Thioredoxin 1 (Trx1), a 12 kDa anti-oxidant, inhibits pathological hypertrophy through reduction of cysteine residues in class II HDACs. In this review, we discuss the role of posttranslational modification of class II HDACs in mediating cardiac hypertrophy and the molecular mechanism by which Trx1 inhibits pathological cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
Thioredoxin 1 (Trx1) is a key redox modulator that is functionally conserved across a wide range of species, including plants, bacteria, and mammals. Using a conserved CXXC motif, Trx1 catalyzes the reduction of cysteine disulfides and S-nitrosothiols. In contrast to small molecular reductants such as glutathione and cysteine that can reduce a wide range of oxidized proteins, Trx1 reduces only selected proteins via specific protein-protein interaction. Trx1 has been shown to regulate numerous signal transduction pathways, and its dysfunctions have been implicated in several diseases, including cancer, inflammation, and neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. Identification of Trx1 target proteins may help to identify novel signaling mechanisms that are important for Trx1 antistress responses. In this study, we performed an ICAT proteomics study for the identification of Trx1 target proteins from the hearts of a cardiac specific Trx1-overexpressing transgenic mouse model (Tg-Trx1). Trx1-reduced proteins were distinguished from Trx1-induced proteins by comparison of the ICAT results with those obtained using a parallel iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation) protein expression analysis. We were able to identify 78 putative Trx1 reductive sites in 55 proteins. Interestingly we identified a few protein functional networks that had not been shown previously to be regulated by Trx1, including the creatine-phosphocreatine shuttle, the mitochondrial permeability transition pore complex, and the cardiac contractile apparatus. The results presented here suggest that in addition to a general antioxidant function, Trx1 may be involved in the coordination of a wide array of cellular functions for maintaining proper cardiac energy dynamics and facilitating muscle contraction.

Abstract
Thioredoxin 1 (Trx1) facilitates the reduction of signaling molecules and transcription factors by cysteine thiol-disulfide exchange, thereby regulating cell growth and death. Here we studied the molecular mechanism by which Trx1 attenuates cardiac hypertrophy. Trx1 upregulates DnaJb5, a heat shock protein 40, and forms a multiple-protein complex with DnaJb5 and class II histone deacetylases (HDACs), master negative regulators of cardiac hypertrophy. Both Cys-274/Cys-276 in DnaJb5 and Cys-667/Cys-669 in HDAC4 are oxidized and form intramolecular disulfide bonds in response to reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating hypertrophic stimuli, such as phenylephrine, whereas they are reduced by Trx1. Whereas reduction of Cys-274/Cys-276 in DnaJb5 is essential for interaction between DnaJb5 and HDAC4, reduction of Cys-667/Cys-669 in HDAC4 inhibits its nuclear export, independently of its phosphorylation status. Our study reveals a novel regulatory mechanism of cardiac hypertrophy through which the nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of class II HDACs is modulated by their redox modification in a Trx1-sensitive manner.

Abstract
Thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase systems of bacterial cytoplasm and eukaryotic cytosol favor reducing conditions and protein thiol groups, while bacterial periplasm and eukaryotic endoplasmatic reticulum provide oxidizing conditions and a machinery for disulfide bond formation in the secretory pathway. Oxidoreductases of the thioredoxin fold superfamily catalyze steps in oxidative protein folding via protein-protein interactions and covalent catalysis to act as chaperones and isomerases of disulfides to generate a native fold. The active site dithiol/disulfide of thioredoxin fold proteins is CXXC where variations of the residues inside the disulfide ring are known to increase the redox potential like in protein disulfide isomerases. In the catalytic mechanism thioredoxin fold proteins bind to target proteins through conserved backbone-backbone hydrogen bonds and induce conformational changes of the target disulfide followed by nucleophilic attack by the N-terminally located low pK(a) Cys residue. This generates a mixed disulfide covalent bond which subsequently is resolved by attack from the C-terminally located Cys residue. This review will focus on two members of the thioredoxin superfamily of proteins known to be crucial for maintaining a reduced intracellular redox state, thioredoxin and glutaredoxin, and their potential functions as facilitators and regulators of protein folding and chaperone activity.

Abstract
Cytoplasmic type I DnaJ/Hsp40 chaperones contain a Cys-rich domain consisting of four CXXCXG motifs that are in a reduced state and coordinate zinc, stabilizing the intervening sequence in a loop structure. However, the Cys-rich region of the endoplasmic reticulum localized HEDJ (ERdj3/ERj3p), is considerably different in sequence and arrangement. Unlike the typical type I molecule, the HEDJ CXC, and CXXC motifs were demonstrated in this study to be predominantly oxidized in intramolecular disulfide bonds. In the native state, HEDJ bound to immobilized, denatured thyroglobulin. Unlike its binding partner GRP78, redox conditions affected the interaction of HEDJ with substrate. Substitution of the Cys-rich domain cysteine residues with serine diminished or abolished HEDJ binding in the in vitro assay. These findings suggest that the Cys-rich region of HEDJ and its oxidation state are important in maintaining the substrate interaction domain in a binding-competent conformation.

Abstract
Zinc/cysteine coordination environments in proteins are redox-active. Oxidation of the sulfur ligands mobilizes zinc, while reduction of the oxidized ligands enhances zinc binding, providing redox control over the availability of zinc ions. Some zinc proteins are redox sensors, in which zinc release is coupled to conformational changes that control varied functions such as enzymatic activity, binding interactions, and molecular chaperone activity. Whereas the released zinc ion in redox sensors has no known function, the redox signal is transduced to specific and sensitive zinc signals in redox transducers. Released zinc can bind to sites on other proteins and modulate signal transduction, generation of metabolic energy, mitochondrial function, and gene expression. The paradigm of such redox transducers is the zinc protein metallothionein, which, together with its apoprotein, thionein, functions at a central node in cellular signaling by redistributing cellular zinc, presiding over the availability of zinc, and interconverting redox and zinc signals. In this regard, the transduction of nitric oxide (NO) signals into zinc signals by metallothionein has received particular attention. It appears that redox-inert zinc has been chosen to control some aspects of cellular thiol/disulfide redox metabolism. Tight control of zinc is essential for redox homeostasis because both increases and decreases of cellular zinc elicit oxidative stress. Depending on its availability, zinc can be cytoprotective as a pro-antioxidant or cytotoxic as a pro-oxidant. Any condition with acute or chronic oxidative stress is expected to perturb zinc homeostasis.
