MAMMALIAN THIOREDOXIN REDUCTASE
Overview
Thioredoxin reductases (TrxRs) from mammalian cells contain an essential, selenocysteine residue in the conserved C-terminal sequence, Gly-Cys-SeCys-Gly forming a selenenylsulfide in the oxidized enzyme., Reduction by NADPH generates a selenolthiol, which is the active site in, reduction of Trx. The three-dimensional structure of the SeCys498Cys, mutant of rat TrxR in complex with NADP(+) has been determined to 3.0-A, resolution by x-ray crystallography. The overall structure is similar to, that of glutathione reductase (GR), including conserved amino acid, residues binding the cofactors FAD and NADPH. Surprisingly, all residues, directly interacting with the substrate glutathione disulfide in GR are, conserved despite the failure of glutathione disulfide to act as a, substrate for TrxR. ...
