STRUCTURE OF THE OXIDISED FORM OF HUMAN THIOREDOXIN 2
Overview
Mammalian thioredoxin 2 is a mitochondrial isoform of highly evolutionary, conserved thioredoxins. Thioredoxins are small ubiquitous, protein-disulfide oxidoreductases implicated in a large variety of, biological functions. In mammals, thioredoxin 2 is encoded by a nuclear, gene and is targeted to mitochondria by a N-terminal mitochondrial, presequence. Recently, mitochondrial thioredoxin 2 was shown to interact, with components of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and to play a role, in the control of mitochondrial membrane potential, regulating, mitochondrial apoptosis signaling pathway. Here we report the first, crystal structures of a mammalian mitochondrial thioredoxin 2. Crystal, forms of reduced and oxidized human thioredoxin 2 are described at 2.0 and, 1.8 A resolution. Though ... [(full description)]
