Tryparedoxin (TryX)-like family, TryX and nucleoredoxin (NRX) subfamily; TryX and NRX are thioredoxin (TRX)-like protein disulfide oxidoreductases that alter the redox state of target proteins via the reversible oxidation of an active center CXXC motif. TryX is involved in the regulation of oxidative stress in parasitic trypanosomatids by reducing TryX peroxidase, which in turn catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides. TryX derives reducing equivalents from reduced trypanothione, a polyamine peptide conjugate unique to trypanosomatids, which is regenerated by the NADPH-dependent flavoprotein trypanothione reductase. Vertebrate NRX is a 400-amino acid nuclear protein with one redox active TRX domain containing a CPPC active site motif followed by one redox inactive TRX-like domain. Mouse NRX transcripts are expressed in all adult tissues but is restricted to the nervous system and limb buds in embryos. Plant NRX, longer than the vertebrate NRX by about 100-200 amino acids, is a nuclear protein containing a redox inactive TRX-like domain between two redox active TRX domains. Both vertebrate and plant NRXs show thiol oxidoreductase activity in vitro. Their localization in the nucleus suggests a role in the redox regulation of nuclear proteins such as transcription factors.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.
Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:
