Abstract

Glutathione peroxidase catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxide by glutathione and functions in the protection of cells against oxidative damage. Glutathione peroxidase exists in several forms that differ in their primary structure and localization. We have also shown that selenoprotein P exhibits a glutathione peroxidase-like activity (Saito, Y., Hayashi, T., Tanaka, A., Watanabe, Y., Suzuki, M., Saito, E., and Takahashi, K. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 2866-2871). To understand the physiological significance of the diversity among these enzymes, a comparative study on the peroxide substrate specificity of three types of ubiquitous glutathione peroxidase (cellular glutathione peroxidase, phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase, and extracellular glutathione peroxidase) and of selenoprotein P purified from human origins was done. The specific activities and kinetic parameters against two hydroperoxides (hydrogen peroxide and phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide) were determined. We next examined the thiol specificity and found that thioredoxin is the preferred electron donor for selenoprotein P. These four enzymes exhibit different peroxide and thiol specificities and collaborate to protect biological molecules from oxidative stress both inside and outside the cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
