Interestingly two of the β-strands form a parallel β-sheet (Figure 3)[[Image:Beta_sheets3.jpg|300px|right|thumb|]]. The classic thioredoxin fold consists of a four stranded β-sheet that is surrounded by three α-helices (5). However the thioredoxin fold is commonly subject to the insertion of additional secondary structural elements between the second β-strand and the second α-helices (6). This is seen in GPx-1 as there is an addition of an α-helix and a β-strand between the second β-strand and the second α-helices (6). A similar insertion is found in peroxiredoxins, a different family of proteins which also catalyze the reduction of hydroperoxides (6). |
