Abstract
Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) is an evolutionary diverse enzyme. In higher eukaryotes, TrxR contains a selenocysteine in the active site which confers high activity and a broad substrate range. The parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus contains two TrxRs, a cytoplasmic enzyme HcTrxR1 with a selenoc...

Abstract
We describe the current knowledge on regulation of chlorophyll biosynthesis in plants by the chloroplast redox state with emphasis on the Mg-chelatase situated at the branch point between the heme and the chlorophyll pathway. We discuss the proposed role of the Mg-chelatase as a key regulator of the...

Abstract
Thioredoxin (Trx) and thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) plus NADPH, comprising the thioredoxin system, has a large number of functions in DNA synthesis, defense against oxidative stress and apoptosis or redox signaling with reference to many diseases. All three isoenzymes of mammalian TrxR contain an ess...

Abstract
A cDNA encoding putative thioredoxin reductase (TR) was identified from a medicinal mushroom, Taiwanofungus camphorata (T. camphorata). Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequence with TRs from other organisms showed high levels of identity (59-74%). A three-dimensional (3-D) homology structure was...

Abstract
We assumed that fresh broccoli could be a superior cardioprotective agent compared to cooked broccoli. To test this, two groups of rats were fed with fresh (steamed) broccoli or cooked broccoli for 30 d, while a third group was given vehicle only for the same period of time. After 30 d, all the rats...

Abstract
Thyroid cancer is the second most common malignancy following breast cancer in Arab females. Thioredoxin (TRX) is a small multi-functional redox protein with both intracellular and extracellular functions. The protein exists in either a reduced form (thioredoxin-SH2) or an oxidized form (thioredoxin...

Abstract
We found that inactivation of EF-G (Slr1463) by H(2)O(2) was attributable to the oxidation of two specific cysteine residues and formation of a disulfide bond. Substitution of these cysteine residues by serine residues protected EF-G from inactivation by H(2)O(2) and allowed the EF-G to mediate tran...

We show that the Cys(2) mutant enzyme or the N-terminal reaction center alone can reduce Se-containing substrates selenocystine and selenite with only slightly less activity than the wild-type enzyme, in stark contrast to when Trx is used as the substrate when the enzyme suffers a 175-550-fold reduc...
