Gene Summary
Plays an important role in cell protection against oxidative stress and cell death by acting as a oxidative stress sensor (PubMed:16139214, PubMed:16203113, PubMed:16894167, PubMed:20457924). Does not play a role in methylglyoxal detoxification (PubMed:27903648). Plays a role in mitochondrial function together with Pink1 (PubMed:20457924). In motor neurons regulates structural synaptic plasticity of locomotor behavior as part of the PTEN-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway in response to oxygen species (ROS) levels (PubMed:30540251).

Summaries
Gene Group (FlyBase)
UNCLASSIFIED CARBON-NITROGEN HYDROLASES OF LINEAR AMIDES -
This group comprises carbon-nitrogen hydrolases of linear amides that do not classify under other groups in 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)
Plays an important role in cell protection against oxidative stress and cell death by acting as a oxidative stress sensor (PubMed:16139214, PubMed:16203113, PubMed:16894167, PubMed:20457924). Does not play a role in methylglyoxal detoxification (PubMed:27903648). Plays a role in mitochondrial function together with Pink1 (PubMed:20457924).

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.
