Abstract excerpt
The genome sequence of Schizosaccharomyces pombe reveals only one gene for a putative glutathione peroxidase (gpx1(+)). The Gpx1 protein has a peroxidase activity but preferred thioredoxin to glutathione as an electron donor when examined in vitro and in vivo, and therefore is a thioredoxin peroxidase. Besides H(2)O(2), it can reduce alkyl and phospholipid hydroperoxides. Expression of the gpx1 gene was elevated...
