General annotation (Comments)

Function

Involved in redox regulation of the cell. Reduces peroxides with reducing equivalents provided through the thioredoxin system. It is not able to receive electrons from glutaredoxin. May play an important role in eliminating peroxides generated during metabolism. Might participate in the signaling cascades of growth factors and tumor necrosis factor-alpha by regulating the intracellular concentrations of H2O2 By similarity.

Catalytic activity

2 R'-SH + ROOH = R'-S-S-R' + H2O + ROH.

Subunit structure

Homodimer; disulfide-linked, upon oxidation. Interacts with TIPIN By similarity.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm By similarity.

Miscellaneous

The active site is the redox-active Cys-51 oxidized to Cys-SOH. Cys-SOH rapidly reacts with Cys-172-SH of the other subunit to form an intermolecular disulfide with a concomitant homodimer formation. The enzyme may be subsequently regenerated by reduction of the disulfide by thioredoxin By similarity.

Inactivated upon oxidative stress by overoxidation of Cys-51 to Cys-SO2H and Cys-SO3H. Cys-SO2H is retroreduced to Cys-SOH after removal of H2O2, while Cys-SO3H may be irreversibly oxidized By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the AhpC/TSA family.

Contains 1 thioredoxin domain.
