Abstract excerpt
Sulfiredoxin catalyzes the ATP-dependent reduction of overoxidized eukaryotic 2-Cys peroxiredoxin PrxSO(2) into sulfenic PrxSOH. Recent mechanistic studies on sulfiredoxins have validated a catalytic mechanism that includes formation of a phosphoryl intermediate on the sulfinyl moiety of PrxSO(2), followed by an attack of the catalytic cysteine of sulfiredoxin on the phosphoryl intermediate that leads to...
