Abstract:

In addition to the conserved active site cysteines that are responsible for the classical redox activity of thioredoxins (Trx’s), vertebrate Trx’s contain an additional three conserved cysteines at position 62, 69 and 73. These structural cysteines are known to be subjected to a variety of post translational modifications including dimerisation that are believed to contribute to the regulation and diversity of function of vertebrate Trx’s. Reports of the formation of “disulphide linked dimers” have been a long standing observation since the earliest studies on vertebrate Trx’s, however detaile

Abstract:

Thioredoxin is an antioxidant protein that performs multiple functions in the intracellular and extracellular environment of cells. Thioredoxin is highly expressed in cancer cells, especially more metastatic and aggressive cancers. Previous studies have demonstrated a functional role for thioredoxin in cancer cell invasion, however little information is currently available regarding the role of thioredoxin in the invasive process. In order to perform these and other functions, thioredoxin interacts with several different protein partners. The primary aim of this project was to identify previou

Abstract:

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a clonal plasma B-cell neoplasm characterised by the presence of uncontrolled proliferation of antibody-secreting plasma cells in the bone marrow. Despite therapeutic advancements, MM remains incurable due to its low median survival rate and nearly all patients will eventually relapse regardless of the frontline regimen they receive. Thus, alternative therapeutic strategies that target the pathogenic and resistance mechanisms of MM need to be developed to improve overall survival in MM patients. Cancer cells generally have higher metabolic demands due to their high pro

Abstract:

Trichomonas vaginalis is an anaerobic, parasitic protozoan, responsible for trichomoniasis, the world’s most common, non-viral sexually transmitted infection. Lacking many of the defenses present in other organisms to combat oxidative stress, Trichomonas vaginalis relies extensively on the thioredoxin system—NADPH, thioredoxin reductase, and thioredoxin—as a means to protect against exposure to excess oxygen. Current trichomoniasis treatment relies exclusively on the 5-nitroimidazole drugs, but fear of drug-resistant strains and allergic reactions to 5-nitroimidazole treatment necessitate th

Abstract:

The high Mr (~55 kDa) thioredoxin reductases (TR) characteristic of higher eukaryotes are members of the glutathione reductase (GR) family of pyridine nucleotide disulfide oxidoreductases. These homodimeric enzymes catalyze the reduction of a cognate disulfide substrate. During the enzymatic cycle, reducing equivalents pass from NADPH to the conserved active site disulfide via an enzyme-bound FAD and then to the cognate substrate. TRs are unique in the family as electrons are then transferred to the C-terminal active site of the adjacent molecule as part of a 16 amino acid extension (in place

Thioredoxin (Trx) and thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) along with an electron donor form a thioredoxin system. Such systems are widely distributed among the organisms belonging to the three domains of life. It is one of the major disulfide reducing systems, which provides electrons to several enzymes, such as ribonucleotide reductase, methionine sulfoxide reductase and glutathione peroxidase to name a few. It also plays an important role in combating oxidative stress and redox regulation of metabolism. Trx is a small redox protein, about 12 kDa in size, with an active site motif of Cys-X-X-Cys. Th

CML is caused by a reciprocal chromosomal translocation that results in the production of a constitutively active non-receptor tyrosine kinase, known as bcr-abl. Bcr-abl activates a wide variety of cell proliferation and survival pathways, and this leads to abnormal cell growth and therefore cancer. Due to the involveme

Tuberculosis is the leading cause of mortality due to a single pathogenic infection.

Therefore, proliferation of M. tuberculosis within the host depends on its strategies to counteract the onslaught of these intermediates.

Methanogens are a group of microorganisms that utilize simple compounds such as H2 + CO2, acetate and methanol for the production of methane, an end-product of their metabolism. These obligate anaerobes belonging to the archaeal domain inhabit diverse anoxic environments such as rice paddy fields, human guts, rumen of ruminants, and hydrothermal vents. In these habitats, methanogens are often exposed to O2 and previous studies have shown that many methanogens are able to tolerate O2 exposure. Hence, methanogens must have developed survival strategies to be able to live under oxidative stres

The thioredoxin system is one of the key antioxidant systems in the cell and is crucial for cell survival. It is comprised of thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase and plays important roles in maintaining the redox homeostasis within the cell. The thioredoxin system is upregulated under conditions of oxidative stress to help re-establish the redox environment. This induced expression is mainly regulated through the action of regulatory elements present in their promoters, especially the antioxidant responsive element (ARE) via binding of the Nrf-2 transcription factor.
