Trp31 Residue of Trx-1 Is Essential for Maintaining Antioxidant Activity and Cellular Redox Defense Against Oxidative Stress by Zongmao He, Yi Yan, Xijun Guo, Tong Wang, Xinqiao Liu, Ren-Bo Ding, Yuanfeng Fu, Jiaolin Bao, Xingzhu Qi

“…We found that the content of free thiol groups specifically participating in disulfide bond formation was significantly lower in Trp31 mutant hTrx-1 than in wild-type hTrx-1; that was speculated to affect the formation of disulfide bonds between Cys32 and Cys35 by virtual analysis, thus abolishing the antioxidant activity of hTrx-1 in cleaving oxidized groups and defending against oxidative stress. The present study provided valuable insights towards understanding the importance of Trp31 residue of hTrx-1 in maintaining the correct conformation of the Trx fold structure, the antioxidant functionality of hTrx-1 and the cellular redox defense capability against oxidative stress.…”
