Trxr-1 Antibody

1. Overexpression of mitochondrial TXNRD2 in Drosophila melanogaster extended median lifespan in female flies with a small lifespan extension in males; in contrast, overexpression of the cytosolic form, TXNRD1, did not produce a lifespan extension. PMID: 28474396
2. Molecular orbital calculations suggested that the C-terminal hexapeptide Pro-Ala-Ser-Cys-Cys-Ser-OH functions as a redox center that alleviates the necessity for selenium in Dm-TrxR. PMID: 21389620
3. mitochondrial and cytoplasmic variants are both essential for viability PMID: 11796729
4. analysis of the mechanism of high Mr thioredoxin reductase from Drosophila melanogaster PMID: 12816954
5. changing of His106 to asparagine, glutamine, and phenylalanine in various C-terminal mutants of Drosophila melanogaster thioredoxin reductase drops catalytic activity without change in pH profile PMID: 15670839
6. X-ray crystal structure of thioredoxin reductase at 2.4 A resolution; demonstrated that tetrapeptides equivalent to the oxidized C-terminal active sites of both mouse mitochondrial TR (mTR3) and DmTR are substrates for the truncated forms of both enzymes PMID: 17385893
7. redox potentials provide direct evidence for proposed catalytic mechanism of DmTrxR, & cast new light on essential role of DmTrx system in cycling GSSG/GSH & maintaining intracellular redox homeostasis in D. melanogaster without glutathione reductase. PMID: 17550271
8. rates of steps in both the reductive and the oxidative half-reactions are markedly diminished in H464'Q thioredoxin reductase as compared to those of wild-type enzyme, indicating that His-464' is involved in both half-reactions PMID: 18211101
9. the role of Glu-469' in catalysis by DmTrxR PMID: 18991392
