malfunction
-
in vivo Mtr knockout strain shows that the enzyme is involved in arsenate (As(V)) resistance suggesting a possible relation with the arsenate reductase activities
metabolism
-
cellular mycothiol metabolism, overview. Under stress conditions, proteins are oxidized to mixed disulfides with MSH to form S-mycothiolated proteins that is reversed by the Mrx1/Mtr/MSH pathway
physiological function
additional information
physiological function
-
in a mycothione disulfide reductase mutant, mycothiol levels decrease only upon treatment with peroxide
physiological function
-
in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the enzyme is part of a versatile machinery of the mycothiol-dependent system, containing the proteins mycothiol disulfide reductase (Mtr), the oxido-reductase mycoredoxin-1 (Mrx-1) and the alkyl-hydroperoxide subunit E (AhpE), system overview. The mycothiol-dependent protein ensemble regulates the balance of oxidized-reduced mycothiol, to ensure a reductive intracellular environment for optimal functioning of its proteins even uponexposure to oxidative stress
physiological function
-
the enzyme maintains intracellular redox homeostasis. The physiological roles of Mtr in resistance to oxidative stresses are corroborated by decreased reactive oxygen species levels, reduced carbonylation damage, decreased loss of reduced protein thiols, and a massive increase in the levels of reversible protein thiols in Mtr-overexpressing cells exposed to stressful conditions

a 5,5'-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoic acid (DTNB)-coupled assay is developed. The mixed disulfide substrate liberates one molecule of TNB on NADPH-dependent reduction by Mycobacterium tubercolosis reductase. The liberated mycothiol analogue then reacts with DTNB to regenerate the mixed disulfide substrate and another molecule of TNB. Reaction progress can be measured by the increase in absorbance (412 nm) from the two molecules of TNB produced per turn of this catalytic cycle

-
-
many naphthoquinones operate as subversive substrates. The native functions of these enzyme involves the NADPH-dependent reduction of disulfide bonds in the substrate. The enzyme-mediated toxicity of quinones/naphthoquinones is a consequence of their enzymatic reduction to semiquinone radicals. The naphthoquinone is then regenerated via the concomitant reduction of oxygen to toxic superoxide anion radicals. In this manner the naphthoquinone substrate is regenerated and the futile redox cycle continues

LITERATURE
additional information

overexpression of mycothiol disulfide reductase enhances Corynebacterium glutamicum robustness by modulating cellular redox homeostasis and antioxidant proteins under oxidative stress. Overexpression of Mtr causes a marked increase in the ratio of reduced to oxidized mycothiol (MSH:MSSM), and significantly enhances the activities of a variety of antioxidant enzymes, including mycothiol peroxidase (MPx), mycoredoxin 1 (Mrx1), thioredoxin 1 (Trx1), and methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MsrA). The mycothione levels of enzyme expressing cells are lower than those of untransfectde cells under H2O2, ciprofloxacin, CdCl2, N-ethylmaleimide, iodoacetamide, methylglyoxal, and 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene stresses, no significant difference in MSH or MSSM levels when both cells are exposed to formaldehyde and rifamycin SV
