Structural highlights
FunctionF0NEA3_SULIR Thiol-specific peroxidase that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides to water and alcohols, respectively. Plays a role in cell protection against oxidative stress by detoxifying peroxides.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00401] Publication Abstract from PubMedAerobic thermoacidophilic archaea belonging to the genus Sulfolobus harbor peroxiredoxins, thiol-dependent peroxidases that assist in protecting the cells from oxidative damage. Here, the crystal structure of the 1-Cys peroxiredoxin from Sulfolobus islandicus, named 1-Cys SiPrx, is presented. A 2.75 A resolution data set was collected from a crystal belonging to space group P212121, with unit-cell parameters a = 86.8, b = 159.1, c = 189.3 A, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees . The structure was solved by molecular replacement using the homologous Aeropyrum pernix peroxiredoxin (ApPrx) structure as a search model. In the crystal structure, 1-Cys SiPrx assembles into a ring-shaped decamer composed of five homodimers. This quaternary structure corresponds to the oligomeric state of the protein in solution, as observed by size-exclusion chromatography. 1-Cys SiPrx harbors only a single cysteine, which is the peroxidatic cysteine, and lacks both of the cysteines that are highly conserved in the C-terminal arm domain in other archaeal Prx6-subfamily proteins such as ApPrx and that are involved in the association of dimers into higher-molecular-weight decamers and dodecamers. It is thus concluded that the Sulfolobus Prx6-subfamily protein undergoes decamerization independently of arm-domain cysteines.
