tpx1

Gene
tpx1
Protein
Peroxiredoxin tpx1
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Length
192 amino acids
Function
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 (PubMed:17409354, PubMed:20356456). Relays hydrogen peroxide as a signal to the transcription factor pap1 by inducing the formation of intramolecular disulfide bonds in pap1, which causes its nuclear accumulation and activation (PubMed:15824112, PubMed:24316080). Reduced by srx1 and this regulation acts as a molecular switch controlling the transcriptional response to hydrogen peroxide (PubMed:15956211).
Similarity
Belongs to the peroxiredoxin family. AhpC/Prx1 subfamily.
