Escherichia coli thiol peroxidase
(Tpx, p20, scavengase) is part of an oxidative stress defense system
that uses reducing equivalents from thioredoxin (Trx1) and thioredoxin
reductase to reduce alkyl hydroperoxides. Tpx contains three Cys
residues, Cys95, Cys82, and
Cys61, and the latter residue aligns with the
N-terminal active site Cys of other peroxidases in the peroxiredoxin
family. To identify the catalytically important Cys, we have cloned and
purified Tpx and four mutants (C61S, C82S, C95S, and C82S,C95S). In
rapid reaction kinetic experiments measuring steady-state turnover,
C61S is inactive, C95S retains partial activity, and the C82S mutation
only slightly affects reaction rates. Furthermore, a sulfenic acid
intermediate at Cys61 generated by cumene hydroperoxide
(CHP) treatment was detected in UV-visible spectra of
4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole-labeled C82S,C95S, confirming the
identity of Cys61 as the peroxidatic center. In
stopped-flow kinetic studies, Tpx and Trx1 form a Michaelis complex
during turnover with a catalytic efficiency of 3.0 × 106 M

1, and the
low Km (9.0 µM) of Tpx for CHP
demonstrates substrate specificity toward alkyl hydroperoxides over
H2O2 (Km > 1.7 mM). Rapid inactivation of Tpx due to Cys61
overoxidation is observed during turnover with CHP and a lipid hydroperoxide, 15-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid, but not
H2O2. Unlike most other 2-Cys peroxiredoxins,
which operate by an intersubunit disulfide mechanism, Tpx contains a
redox-active intrasubunit disulfide bond yet is homodimeric in solution.
