Abstract
The three isoenzymes of iodothyronine deiodinases (DIO1-3) are membrane-anchored homo-dimeric selenoproteins which share the thioredoxin-fold structure. Several questions regarding their catalytic mechanisms still remain open. Here, we addressed the roles of several cysteines which are conserved among deiodinase isoenzymes and asked whether they may contribute to dimerization and reduction of the oxidized enzyme with physiological reductants. We also asked whether amino acids previously identified in DIO3 play the same role in DIO1. Human DIO1 and 2 were recombinantly expressed in insect cells with selenocysteine replaced with cysteine (DIO1U126C) or in COS7 cells as selenoprotein. Enzyme activities were studied by radioactive deiodination assays with physiological reducing agents and recombinant proteins were characterized by mass spectrometry. Mutation of Cys124 in DIO1 prevented reduction by glutathione, while 20 mM dithiothreitol still regenerated the enzyme. Protein thiol reductants, thioredoxin and glutaredoxin, did not reduce DIO1U126C. Mass spectrometry demonstrated the formation of an intracellular disulfide between the side-chains of Cys124 and Cys(Sec)126. We conclude that the proximal Cys124 forms a selenenyl-sulfide with the catalytic Sec126 during catalysis, which is the substrate of the physiological reductant glutathione. Mutagenesis studies support the idea of a proton-relay pathway from solvent to substrate that is shared between DIO1 and DIO3.

Abstract
Iodothyronine deiodinases are a family of enzymes that remove specific iodine atoms from one of the two aromatic rings in thyroid hormones (THs). They thereby fine-tune local TH concentrations and cellular TH signaling. Deiodinases catalyze a remarkable biochemical reaction, i.e., the reductive elimination of a halogenide from an aromatic ring. In metazoans, deiodinases depend on the rare amino acid selenocysteine. The recent solution of the first experimental structure of a deiodinase catalytic domain allowed for a reappraisal of the many mechanistic and mutagenesis data that had been accumulated over more than 30 years. Hence, the structure generates new impetus for research directed at understanding catalytic mechanism, substrate specificity, and regulation of deiodinases. This review will focus on structural and mechanistic aspects of iodothyronine deiodinases and briefly compare these enzymes with dehalogenases, which catalyze related reactions. A general mechanism for the selenium-dependent deiodinase reaction will be described, which integrates the mouse deiodinase 3 crystal structure and biochemical studies. We will summarize further, sometimes isoform-specific molecular features of deiodinase catalysis and regulation, and we will then discuss available compounds for modulating deiodinase activity for therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Local levels of active thyroid hormone (3,3',5-triiodothyronine) are controlled by the action of activating and inactivating iodothyronine deiodinase enzymes. Deiodinases are selenocysteine-dependent membrane proteins catalyzing the reductive elimination of iodide from iodothyronines through a poorly understood mechanism. We solved the crystal structure of the catalytic domain of mouse deiodinase 3 (Dio3), which reveals a close structural similarity to atypical 2-Cys peroxiredoxin(s) (Prx). The structure suggests a route for proton transfer to the substrate during deiodination and a Prx-related mechanism for subsequent recycling of the transiently oxidized enzyme. The proposed mechanism is supported by biochemical experiments and is consistent with the effects of mutations of conserved amino acids on Dio3 activity. Thioredoxin and glutaredoxin reduce the oxidized Dio3 at physiological concentrations, and dimerization appears to activate the enzyme by displacing an autoinhibitory loop from the iodothyronine binding site. Deiodinases apparently evolved from the ubiquitous Prx scaffold, and their structure and catalytic mechanism reconcile a plethora of partly conflicting data reported for these enzymes.

Abstract
![]()
Thioredoxin
(Trx) is a redox-active protein that plays a key role
in mitigating the effects of oxidative stress. The secretion of Trx
on the plasma membrane has been suggested as a distinctive feature
of inflammation. However, selective monitoring of membrane-associated
Trx activity has proved challenging because of the ubiquity of Trx
action in cells. Here, we report a Trx-specific probe that allows
visualization of Trx activity associated with the membranes via fluorescence
microscopy. The ability of this probe to act as a possible screening
tool for agents that modulate Trx secretion was demonstrated in HeLa
cells under oxidative stress conditions and in a cellular hepatosteatosis
model. Control experiments serve to confirm that the response seen
for the present probe is due to Trx and that it is selective over
various potentially competing metabolites, including thiol-containing
small molecules and test proteins.

Abstract
Iodothyronine deiodinases determine the biological activity of thyroid hormones. Despite the homology of the catalytic sites of mammalian and teleostean deiodinases, in-vitro requirements for the putative thiol co-substrate dithiothreitol (DTT) vary considerably between vertebrate species. To further our insights in the interactions between the deiodinase protein and its substrates: thyroid hormone and DTT, we measured enzymatic iodothyronine 5'-deiodination, Dio1 and Dio2 mRNA expression, and Dio1 affinity probe binding in liver and kidney preparations from a freshwater teleost, the common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). Deiodination rates, using reverse T3 (rT3, 3,3',5'-triiodothyronine) as the substrate, were analysed as a function of the iodothyronine and DTT concentrations. In kidney rT3 5'-deiodinase activity measured at rT3 concentrations up to 10 μM and in the absence of DTT does not saturate appreciably. In the presence of 1mM DTT, renal rT3 deiodination rates are 20-fold lower. In contrast, rT3 5'-deiodination in liver is potently stimulated by 1mM DTT. The marked biochemical differences between 5'-deiodination in liver and kidney are not associated with the expression of either Dio1 or Dio2 mRNA since both organs express both deiodinase types. In liver and kidney, DTT stimulates the incorporation of N-bromoacetylated affinity labels in proteins with estimated molecular masses of 57 and 55, and 31 and 28 kDa, respectively. Although primary structures are highly homologous, the biochemistry of carp deiodinases differs markedly from their mammalian counterparts.

Abstract
T(4) must be activated by its monodeiodination to T(3) by type 1 or 2 iodothyronine deiodinase (D1 and D2). Recent studies show that despite an approximately 2000-fold higher Michaelis constant (K(m); T(4)) for D1 than for D2 using dithiothreitol (DTT) as cofactor, D1 expressed in intact cells produces T(3) at free T(4) concentrations many orders of magnitude below its K(m). To understand the factors regulating D1 and D2 catalysis in vivo, we studied a mutant D2 with a proline at position 135 of the active center of D2 replaced with a serine, as found in D1. The P135S D2 enzyme has many D1-like properties, a K(m) (T(4)) in the micromolar range, ping-pong kinetics with DTT, and sensitivity to 6n-propylthiouracil (PTU) in vitro. Unexpectedly, when the P135S D2 was expressed in HEK-293 cells and exposed to 2-200 pm free T(4), the rate of T(4) to T(3) conversion was identical with D2 and conversion was insensitive to PTU. Using glutathione as a cofactor in vitro resulted in a marked decrease in the K(m) (T(4)) (as also occurs for D1), it showed sequential kinetics with T(4) and it was sensitive to PTU but was resistant when HEK-293 cytosol was used as a cofactor. Thus, the in vivo catalytic properties of the P135S D2 mutant are more accurately predicted from in vitro studies with weak reducing agents, such as glutathione or endogenous cofactors, than by those with DTT.

Abstract
The human selenoenzyme thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1) is a very important enzyme for cell growth, differentiation, and the defense against oxidative stress. Several studies have shown that TrxR1 is up-regulated in tumor cells. The regulation of TrxR1 is very complex and involves the expression of different transcript forms of mRNA. We have, by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, investigated the total expression of TrxR1 mRNA and quantified the expression of alternative mRNA forms (alpha1/2, alpha6, alpha7/8, alpha10/11, alpha13, gamma2-4, and beta1) in six different human malignant mesothelioma cell lines of epithelioid, sarcomatoid, or mixed phenotype. The most abundant alpha-form was surprisingly alpha1/2 and not the expected alpha7/8. Selenium treatment resulted in increased expression of all alpha-variants, except the alpha10/11, where the levels were unaffected. The expression of protein isoforms was studied and the less abundant forms TrxR1v.2, TrxR1v.3, and TrxR1v.5 were detected in cell lysates and in human tumor tissue, using specific peptide antibodies. Furthermore, TrxR1v.3 and TrxR1v.5, previously not identified in human cells, were detected by mass spectrometry. Our data show differential expression of TrxR1 mRNA forms in malignant mesothelioma of different phenotype, and investigation of alternative transcript variants of TrxR1 could be a valuable tool in the diagnostics and characterization of tumors.

Abstract
The mammalian thioredoxins are a family of small (approximately 12 kDa) redox proteins that undergo NADPH-dependent reduction by thioredoxin reductase and in turn reduce oxidized cysteine groups on proteins. The two main thioredoxins are thioredoxin- 1, a cytosolic and nuclear form, and thioredoxin-2, a mitochondrial form. Thioredoxin-1 has been studied more. It performs many biological actions including the supply of reducing equivalents to thioredoxin peroxidases and ribonucleotide reductase, the regulation of transcription factor activity, and the regulation of enzyme activity by heterodimer formation. Thioredoxin-1 stimulates cell growth and is an inhibitor of apoptosis. Thioredoxins may play a role in a variety of human diseases including cancer. An increased level of thioredoxin-1 is found in many human tumors, where it is associated with aggressive tumor growth. Drugs are being developed that inhibit thioredoxin and that have antitumor activity.

Abstract
The realization some forty years ago that several iodothyronine compounds are present in the circulation suggested that deiodination occurs in various tissues. Subsequently, deiodination was indeed documented in in vivo studies. Later, using in vitro assay techniques, three deiodinase processes, termed types 1, 2 and 3, were defined that differed in terms of tissue distribution, reaction kinetics, efficiency of substrate utilization and sensitivity to inhibitors. Although purification of the deiodinase enzymes has continued to be problematic, recent molecular cloning studies have identified cDNAs for these three deiodinase isoforms from multiple species. These cDNAs have provided important insights into the structural characteristics of this family of enzymes. Foremost among the structural features has been the demonstration that all three deiodinase isoforms contain at their active site the uncommon amino acid selenocysteine which is of critical importance to their catalytic activity. The availability of cDNAs for these enzymes provides important reagents for pursuing additional studies aimed at defining their biochemical features and roles in thyroid hormone economy.

Abstract
Corynebacterium sepedonicum KZ-4, described earlier as a strain capable of growth on 2,4-dichlorobenzoate (G.M. Zaitsev and Y.N. Karasevich, Mikrobiologiya 54:356-369, 1985), is known to metabolize this substrate via 4-hydroxybenzoate and protocatechuate, and evidence consistent with an initial reductive dechlorination step to form 4-chlorobenzoate was found in another coryneform bacterium, strain NTB-1 (W.J.J. van den Tweel, J.B. Kok, and J.A.M. de Bont, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 53:810-815, 1987). 2-Chloro-4-fluorobenzoate was found to be converted stoichiometrically to 4-fluorobenzoate by resting cells of strain KZ-4, compatible with a reductive process. Experiments with cell extracts demonstrated that Mg - ATP and coenzyme A (CoA) were required to stimulate reductive dehalogenation, consistent with the intermediacy of 2-chloro-4-fluoro-benzoyl-CoA and 2,4-dichlorobenzoyl-CoA thioesters. 2,4-Dichlorobenzoyl-CoA was shown to be converted to 4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA in a novel NADPH-dependent reaction in extracts of both KZ-4 and NTB-1. In addition to the ligase and reductive dehalogenase activities, hydrolytic 4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA dehalogenase and thioesterase activities, 4-hydroxybenzoate 3-monooxygenase, and protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase activities were demonstrated to be present in the soluble fraction of KZ-4 extracts following ultracentrifugation. We propose that the pathway for 2,4-dichlorobenzoate catabolism in strains KZ-4 and NTB-1 involves formation of 2,4-dichlorobenzoyl-CoA, NADPH-dependent ortho dehalogenation yielding 4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA, hydrolytic removal of chlorine from the para position to generate 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA, hydrolysis to form 4-hydroxybenzoate, oxidation to yield protocatechuate, and oxidative ring cleavage.

Abstract
The iodothyronine deiodinases constitute a family of enzymes that catalyze the removal of iodine atoms from various thyroid hormones (THs) in the thyroid gland and extrathyroidal tissues. As such, they are responsible for both the activation and inactivation of these compounds, and are thus important regulators of TH action. Recently, new insights have been gained into the biochemical characteristics of these proteins and their physiologic roles in TH metabolism. In particular, the availability of affinity-labeling techniques, molecular probes, and specific antisera for these enzymes, and the recent identification of the type I deiodinase as a selenoprotein, have ushered in a new era in the study of thyroid hormone deiodination.

Abstract
The thioredoxin/thioredoxin reductase system has been studied as regenerative machinery for proteins inactivated by oxidative stress in vitro and in cultured endothelial cells. Mammalian glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was used as the main model enzyme for monitoring the oxidative damage and the regeneration. Thioredoxin and its reductase purified from bovine liver were used as the regenerating system. The physiological concentrations (2-14 microM) of reduced thioredoxin, with 0.125 microM thioredoxin reductase and 0.25 mM NADPH, regenerated H2O2-inactivated glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and other mammalian enzymes almost completely within 20 min at 37 degrees C. Although the treatment of endothelial cells with 0.2-12 mM H2O2 for 5 min resulted in a marked decrease in the activity of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, it had no effect on the activities of thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase. Essentially all of the thioredoxin in endothelial cells at control state was in the reduced form and 70-85% remained in the reduced form even after the H2O2 treatment. The inactivated glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in a cell lysate prepared from the H2O2-treated endothelial cells was regenerated by incubating the lysate with 3 mM NADPH at 37 degrees C and the antiserum raised against bovine liver thioredoxin inhibited the regeneration. The inhibition of thioredoxin reductase activity by 13-cis-retinoic acid resulted in a decrease in the regeneration of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in the H2O2-treated endothelial cells. The present findings provide evidence that thioredoxin is involved in the regeneration of proteins inactivated by oxidative stress in endothelial cells.

Abstract
This study was done to test the recent hypothesis (Boado et al. (1988) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 155, 1297-1304) that type I iodothyronine deiodinase (ID-I) is identical to protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). Autoradiograms of rat liver microsomal proteins, labeled with N-bromoacetyl-[125I]triiodothyronine (BrAc[125I]T3) and separated by SDS-PAGE, show predominantly 2 radioactive bands of Mr 27 and 56 kDa. Substrates and inhibitors of ID-I inhibited labeling of the 27 kDa band but not that of the 56 kDa band. Treatment of microsomes with trypsin abolished labeling of the 27 kDa protein and destroyed the activity of ID-I but did not prevent labeling of the 56 kDa protein. Following treatment of microsomes at pH 8.0-9.5 or with 0.05% deoxycholate (DOC) PDI content and labeling of the 56 kDa protein were strongly diminished but ID-I activity and labeling of the 27 kDa protein were not affected. The latter decreased in parallel after treatment at pH greater than or equal to 10. Rat pancreas microsomes contain high amounts of PDI but show no ID-I activity. Reaction of these microsomes with BrAc[125I]T3 results in extensive labeling of a 56 kDa protein but no labeling of a 27 kDa protein. Pure PDI (Mr 56 kDa) was readily labeled by BrAc[125I]T3 but showed no deiodinase activity. These results strongly suggest that the 27 kDa band represents (a subunit of) ID-I while the 56 kDa band represents PDI. From these and other data it is concluded that PDI and ID-I are not identical proteins.

Abstract
The roles of subcellular components and, in particular, cytosol fractions and beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, reduced form (NADPH), in the regulation of rat hepatic and renal 5'-deiodination during fasting were assessed. 5'-deiodinase (5'-DI) activities in reaction mixtures were measured by using outer ring 125I-radiolabelled reverse triiodothyronine (rT3) as a substrate in the presence of 200 mumol/L NADPH. Subcellular components from rats fed ad libitum or fasted for 24, 48 or 72 hours were prepared by standard differential centrifugation. Cytosol was chromatographed on a Sephadex G-50 column to obtain Fraction A of molecular weight (Mr) greater than 60,000 and Fraction B of Mr approximately 13,000 and to exclude reduced glutathione (GSH) (Mr less than 400). 5'-DI activity in liver homogenates was reduced by 42% at 24 hours and by 59% at 48 hours of fasting. In reconstitution experiments, liver microsomes showed a progressive loss of 5'-DI activity, reaching a maximal reduction of 46% at 72 hours of fasting. Activation of microsomal deiodinase by whole liver cytosol was also significantly reduced at 24 hours of fasting and achieved a maximal reduction of 5'-DI activation of 42% at 48 hours before substantial but incomplete recovery at 72 hours. Cytosolic Fraction A and B were assessed in combination with fed microsomes and NADPH. A close correlation was demonstrated between the loss of hepatic 5'-DI supportive activity in whole cytosol and that of Fraction B but not A during fasting.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
