Abstract excerpt
The reversible oxidation of the active site cysteine in typical 2-Cys peroxiredoxins (Prx) to sulfinic acid during oxidative stress plays an important role in peroxide-mediated cell signaling. The catalytic retroreduction of Prx-SO(2)(-) by sulfiredoxin (Srx) has been proposed to proceed through two novel reaction intermediates, a sulfinic phosphoryl ester and protein-based thiosulfinate. Two scenarios for the...
