Peroxiredoxin-5, mitochondrial (PRDX5)

The protein contains 214 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 22086 Da.

 

Thiol-specific peroxidase that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides to water and alcohols, respectively. Plays a role in cell protection against oxidative stress by detoxifying peroxides and as sensor of hydrogen peroxide-mediated signaling events. (updated: Oct. 25, 2017)

Peroxiredoxin 5; prdx5
Antioxidant enzyme b166; aoeb166

DESCRIPTION

Incomplete reduction of atmospheric oxygen generates potent oxidizing agents, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their toxic byproducts. Sources of ROS include mitochondria and peroxisomes. Protection from ROS is mediated by nonenzymatic agents, such as vitamins; enzymes, such as catalase (CAT; 115500); and low molecular weight reducing agents, such as thioredoxin (TXN; 187700). PRDX5 is a member of the peroxiredoxin family and may play an antioxidant protective role in various tissues under nonpathologic conditions and during inflammatory processes.

CLONING

By 2-dimensional electrophoresis of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and microsequence analysis to create an analytical map of BAL fluid proteins, Wattiez et al. (1999) identified a 17-kD protein with a pI of 6.9 that they termed B166. Using PCR amplification of lung cDNA with degenerate primers corresponding to the N terminus of B166, followed by 5-prime and 3-prime RACE, Knoops et al. (1999) isolated a cDNA encoding PRDX5, which they called antioxidant enzyme B166 (AOEB166). Sequence analysis predicted that the 214-amino acid protein is 90% identical to the rat sequence after the second methionine (in human, met53). PRDX5 displays mitochondrial presequence features and has 3 cysteines implicated in antioxidant activity and a C-terminal SQL peroxisomal targeting sequence. Northern blot analysis revealed ubiquitous expression of a 1.0-kb PRDX5 transcript in tissues and cell lines. Dot blot analysis indicated highest expression in thyroid gland, trachea, kidney, lung, adrenal gland, heart, and colon. Fluorescence microscopy demonstrated expression in mitochondria and peroxisomes. Rat Prdx5 expression was increased in lungs after the instillation of lipopolysaccharide. Functional analysis showed that PRDX5 has antioxidant activity equivalent to that of CAT. Knoops et al. (1999) noted that PRDX5 was the first peroxiredoxin to be associated with peroxisomes, and they suggested that it may play a protective role against ROS generated in these organelles.

BIOCHEMICAL FEATURES

Declercq et al. (2001) reported the crystal structure of PRDX5 in its reduced form at 1.5-angstrom resolution. The structure revealed a thioredoxin-like domain and that PRDX5 does not form a dimer. The authors noted the presence of a benzoate ion, a hydroxyl radical scavenger, close to the active-site pocket.

GENE FUNCTION

Wang et al. (2001) used PCR, Western blot, immunohistochemical, and in situ hybridization analyses to show that PRDX5 expression is increased in degenerative tendon compared with normal tendon. While PRDX5 was localized to fibroblasts in normal tendon, it was localized to fibroblasts and endothelial cells in degenerative tendon. Wang et al. (2002) mimicked osteoarthritis by exposing cultured human articular cartilage chondrocytes and cartilage explants to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (191160) and interleukin-1-beta (147720). Intracellular peroxide levels began to rise 3 hours after cytokine challenge. PRDX5 mRNA and protein levels increased at 12 hours, and the increase in PRDX5 expression correlated with reduced peroxide levels. Wang et al. (2002) concluded that PRDX5 plays a protective role against oxidative stress in human cartilage. Acting as a signal, hydrogen peroxide circumvents antioxidant defense by overoxidizing peroxiredoxins (Prxs), the enzymes that metabolize peroxides. Budanov et al. (2004) showed that sestrins, a famil ... More on the omim web site
