Gene Group (FlyBase)
PEROXIREDOXINS -
Peroxiredoxins are a family of thiol-dependent antioxidant proteins that catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, peroxynitrite and a wide range of organic hydroperoxides (ROOH) to the corresponding alcohol (ROH) and water. These proteins function as peroxidases only when coupled to a sulfhydryl-reducing system such as thioredoxin or glutathione. Catalytic activity is dependent on the oxidation of a conserved cysteine residue at the active site. (Adapted from FBrf0139661, PMID:12517450.)
Protein Function (UniProtKB)
Thiol-specific peroxidase that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides to water and alcohols, respectively (PubMed:11677042). Plays a role in cell protection against oxidative stress by detoxifying peroxides (PubMed:11677042, PubMed:20869434, PubMed:23124252). May be involved in aging-associated changes in the responsiveness to oxidative stress (PubMed:23124252). Involved in the maintenance of global thiol redox homeostasis (PubMed:20869434). Functions in the central nervous system (CNS) and in motor neurons and is essential for normal motor function (PubMed:33585478, PubMed:33889951).

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

Subunit Structure (UniProtKB)

Homodimer; disulfide-linked, upon oxidation (PubMed:33920774). 6 homodimers assemble to form a ring-like dodecamer (By similarity). Also exists as a monomer, however the monomeric form is present at a much lower level than the homodimeric form (PubMed:33920774).
