The Prx from the bacterium Akkermansia muciniphila (AmPrx) is a typical 2-Cys Prx characterized by two conserved cysteines: Cys49 and Cys183. Here, we verified the peroxidase activity of AmPrx and determined its crystal structure in reduced form, which is a doughnut-shaped decamer composed of five dimers. Particularly, a distinct loop between the alpha4 helix and beta6 strand is involved in the decameric interaction. Deletion of this loop destroys the decameric structure and significantly decreases the peroxidase activity of AmPrx. Our findingss reveal a novel regulatory mechanism of typical 2-Cys Prx, in which the alpha4-beta6 loop affects the assembly of Prx and, therefore, regulates its peroxidase activity. Crystal structure of Akkermansia muciniphila peroxiredoxin reveals a novel regulatory mechanism of typical 2-Cys Prxs by a distinct loop.,Li M, Wang J, Xu W, Wang Y, Zhang M, Wang M FEBS Lett. 2020 Feb 6. doi: 10.1002/1873-3468.13753.
