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
The Arabidopsis thaliana atypical Cys His-rich thioredoxins (ACHTs) are a small class of atypical thioredoxins (TRXs) located in chloroplasts thylakoids and are characterized by a noncanonical motif at their redox active site, C (G/S)(S/G)C. Previous studies have reported that ACHT1 can interact with A. thaliana 2-Cys peroxiredoxins (2-Cys Prxs, including PrxA and PrxB) to transmit oxidation signals in response to illumination with normal light intensity. In this study, we reported the crystal structure of ACHT1 and show that ACHT1 adopts a canonical TRX fold. Comparison of the structures of ACHT1 in both reducing and oxidizing environments revealed that while the redox environment did not influence the overall structure of ACHT1, it did change the conformation of its catalytic residues. We found that the catalytic C125 of ACHT1 is the target residue for PrxA in vitro. In addition, we found that ACHT1 can reduce the peroxidase activity of PrxA, and further confirmed that the ability of ACHT1 to restore the peroxidase function of PrxA was due to the interaction between the two. Our results provide a structural basis for studying the function of atypical TRXs and the oxidative regulation mechanism of ACHT1 and 2-Cys Prxs in chloroplasts.

The crystal structure of sulfiredoxin from Arabidopsis thaliana revealed a more robust antioxidant mechanism in plants. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2019; 520:347-352. [PMID: 31604522 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2019.10.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2019] [Accepted: 10/02/2019] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
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
Plant 2-Cys peroxiredoxins (2-CysPRXs) are abundant plastidial thiol-peroxidases involved in key signaling processes such as photosynthesis deactivation at night. Their functions rely on the redox status of their two cysteines and on the enzyme quaternary structure, knowledge of which remains poor in plant cells. Using ex vivo and biochemical approaches, we thoroughly characterized the 2-CysPRX dimer/monomer distribution, hyperoxidation level, and thiol content in Arabidopsis, barley, and potato in relation to the light cycle. Our data reveal that the enzyme hyperoxidization level and its distribution as a dimer and monomer vary through the light cycle in a species-dependent manner. A differential susceptibility to hyperoxidation was observed for the two Arabidopsis 2-CysPRX isoforms and among the proteins of the three species, and was associated to sequence variation in hyperoxidation resistance motifs. Alkylation experiments indicate that only a minor fraction of the 2-CysPRX pool carries one free thiol in the three species, and that this content does not change during the light period. We conclude that most plastidial 2-CysPRX forms are oxidized and propose that there is a species-dependent variability in their functions since dimer and hyperoxidized forms fulfill distinct roles regarding direct oxidation of partners and signal transmission.
