Mutations in the Txnip PPXY motifs protect against myocardial infarction despite enhanced protein stability.

Abstract excerpt

Thioredoxin-interacting protein (Txnip), a member of α-arrestin superfamily, is best known for inhibiting thioredoxins and glucose transporters, increasing oxidative and metabolic stress. Through these functions, Txnip has emerged as a key contributor to the pathogenesis of heart diseases. Txnip contains C-terminal PPXY motifs that are conserved among α-arrestins across diverse species. Nevertheless, the...
