Thioredoxin is the main disulfide reductase responsible for keeping intracellular proteins reduced. The redox reactions are catalyzed by thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) by taking electrons from NADPH and transferring them to the FAD domain of the oxidized Trx (Trs-S2). Electrons are then transferred to the redox active disulfide in the N-terminal of one subunit of TrxR, finally to the C-terminal active site of the other subunit, generating a a dithiol in reduced thioredoxin, Trx-(SH)2. <ref>PMID:20494123</ref> <ref>PMID:11012661</ref> |
The activity of thioredoxin reductase on thioredoxin is importante in E. coli for more than a reason. Despite this enzyme has a conserved role as a high-capacity hydrogen donor systems for reductive enzymes, it also has evolved to specialized functions, such as participating in filamentous E. coli phage assembly and its T7 DNA replication. Furthermore, thioredoxin has demonstrated an important role in defense against oxidative stress or in control of apoptosis. Most of these functions are dependent of the disulfide reductase activity, which is only possible with the NADPH and thioredoxin reductase supply. <ref>PMID:11012661</ref> | The activity of thioredoxin reductase on thioredoxin is importante in E. coli for more than a reason.
