Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can act as a signalling molecule affecting the cell cycle as well as contributing towards the oxidative stress response. The primary target of this molecule is oxidation-sensitive cysteine residues in proteins such as protein tyrosine phosphatases. The cell has robust mechanisms to remove H2O2that need to be regulated for H2O2to react with and modify protein thiols. In particular, the family of peroxiredoxins are capable of the rapid removal of even trace amounts of this molecule. It has been suggested that the inactivation of peroxiredoxins by hyperoxidation may allow H2O2levels to increase in cells and thereby modify critical thiol groups in proteins. We have been studying how the H2O2produced during disulfide formation in the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) is metabolized and have shown that ER-resident peroxiredoxin IV not only can remove H2O2, but also contributes tode novodisulfide formation. In the present article, we review recent data on the structure and function of this enzyme as well as its sensitivity to hyperoxidation.
