In order to detail at molecular level the structural mechanism of this switch, we have designed and expressed mutants of peroxiredoxin I from Schistosoma mansoni (SmPrxI) with constitutive HMW assembly and molecular chaperone activity. By a combination of X-ray crystallography, transmission electron microscopy and functional experiments we defined the structural events responsible for the moonlighting behavior of 2-Cys Prx and we demonstrated that acidification is coupled to local structural variations localized at the active site and a change in oligomerization to HMW forms, similar to those induced by oxidative stress. Moreover, we suggest that the binding site of the unfolded polypeptide is at least in part contributed by the hydrophobic surface exposed by the unfolding of the active site. We also find an inverse correlation between the extent of ring stacking and molecular chaperone activity which is explained assuming that the binding occurs at the extremities of the nanotube and the longer the nanotube, the lesser the ratio binding sites/molecular mass.
