The mammalian glutathione peroxidase (GPx) family is a key component of the cellular antioxidative defence system. Within this family, GPx4 has unique features as it accepts a large class of hydroperoxy lipid substrates and has a plethora of biological functions, including sperm maturation, regulation of apoptosis and cerebral embryogenesis. In this paper, the structure of the cytoplasmic isoform of mouse phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (O70325-2 GPx4) with selenocysteine 46 mutated to cysteine is reported solved at 1.8 Å resolution using X-ray crystallography. Furthermore, solution data of an isotope-labelled GPx protein are presented.
哺乳动物谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPx)家族是细胞抗氧化防御系统的关键组成部分。在这个家族中,GPx4具有独特的特征,因为它能接受一大类氢过氧脂质底物,并且具有多种生物学功能,包括精子成熟、细胞凋亡调节和大脑胚胎发育。本文报道了通过X射线晶体学以1.8 Å分辨率解析的小鼠磷脂氢过氧化物谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(O70325-2 GPx4)胞质异构体的结构,其中第46位硒代半胱氨酸突变为半胱氨酸。此外,还给出了同位素标记的GPx蛋白的溶液数据。
