英文摘要Thioredoxin (Trx) domain is a typical fold functioning in thiol/disulfide exchange. DsbE protein is one of the Trx-domain containing proteins involved in electron transfer for cytochrome c maturation in the periplasm of Escherichia coli. The soluble C-terminal Trx domain of DsbE protein was overexpressed and purified to homogeneity. We herein report biochemical characterization of the structural and redox properties of this domain. During redox reaction, the domain undergoes a structural transformation resulting in a more stable reduced form with a free energy difference (Delta DeltaG(Redox)) of ca. 5 kcal/mol, but the thiol/disulfide exchange exhibits very low reactivity. The standard redox potential (E-0') for the active thiol/disulfide is -0.175 V and the pK(a) value of the active cysteine is around 6.8, indicating that the domain acts as a weak reductant. This implies that the membrane-anchored DsbE protein may provide driven reducing power for the redox reaction in the thiol/disulfide exchange pathway. (C) 2001 Academic Press.
