Function

PRDX4_HUMAN Probably involved in redox regulation of the cell. Regulates the activation of NF-kappa-B in the cytosol by a modulation of I-kappa-B-alpha phosphorylation.[1]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Prx4 (peroxiredoxin 4) is the only peroxiredoxin located in the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) and a proposed scavenger for H2O2. In this work we presented crystal structures of human Prx4 in three different redox forms and characterized the reaction features of Prx4 with H2O2. Prx4 exhibits a toroid-shaped decamer constructed of five catalytic dimers. Structural analysis revealed conformational changes around helix alpha2 and the C-terminal reigon with a YF motif from the partner subunit, which are required for inter-chain disulfide formation between Cys87 and Cys208, a critical step of the catalysis. The structural explanation for the restricting role of the YF motif on the active site dynamics is provided in detail. Prx4 has a high reactivity to H2O2, but is susceptible to over-oxidation and consequent inactivation by H2O2. Either deletion of the YF motif or dissociation into dimers decreased the susceptibility of Prx4 to over-oxidation by increasing the flexibility of Cys87.
